Q. You roll a 6-sided die two times.What is the probability of rolling a 6 and then rolling a 1?Write your answer as a fraction or whole number._____
Calculate Probability of First Roll: Step 1: Determine the probability of rolling a 6 on the first roll.Since a 6-sided die has 6 faces, the probability of rolling any specific number, including 6, is 1 out of 6.Calculation: Probability = 61
Calculate Probability of Second Roll: Step 2: Determine the probability of rolling a 1 on the second roll.Similar to the first roll, the probability of rolling a 1 on a 6-sided die is also 1 out of 6.Calculation: Probability = 61
Calculate Combined Probability: Step 3: Calculate the combined probability of both events happening in sequence (rolling a 6 and then a 1).Since the rolls are independent, multiply the probabilities of each event.Calculation: Combined Probability = (61)×(61)=361
