If you roll a die twice, what is the probability

of rolling a 5 the first time and then rolling a

6 the second time? Write your answer as a

fraction.

1/36

Step-by-step explanation:

assuming a 6-sided fair die, the probability that you roll any number from 1-6 for any one roll is 1/6,

hence

P (roll 5) = 1/6

P (roll 6) = 1/6

P (roll 5 then roll 6)

= P (roll 5) x P (roll 6)

= (1/6) (1/6)

= 1/36
