If two 6-sided number cubes are rolled, what is the probability that a 2 is rolled on the first cube and a 5 is rolled on the second cube?
There are 6 sides on the number cubes, numbered 1-6.
The odds of rolling a 2 are 1 in 6, or 1/6
P(2)=1/6
The odds of rolling a 5 are 1 in 6, or 1/6
P(5)=1/6
P(2)P(5)=1/61/6=1/36
The odds of rolling a 2 and a 5 are 1/36
Answer=1/36
