A single die is rolled twice. Find the probability of getting a 2 the first time and a 5 the second time.
-
It's the same probability as getting a 5 first, then a 2, (1/6)*(1/6) = 1/36 ≈ 0.027778 ≈ 2.8%
-
Probability of getting a 2 on the first toss is 1/6.
Probability of getting a 5 the second time is 1/6.
Probability of getting a 2 and then a 5 is the product of these two probabilities:
1/6 * 1/6 = 1/36
Probability of getting a 5 the second time is 1/6.
Probability of getting a 2 and then a 5 is the product of these two probabilities:
1/6 * 1/6 = 1/36
-
the answers are the same because both times the probability is 1 out of 6.
so the answer is 1 out of 6 or 1/6 for both
so the answer is 1 out of 6 or 1/6 for both

1/6
