## anonymous one year ago if a die is rolled twice, what is probability of rolling a 5 and then a 2? @misty1212 @misty1212 @misty1212

If there is one face with 5 and one face with 2 on a die, and there are 6 faces total, then the probability for each will be 1/6 When you roll a die, it does not affect the next roll, so it's going to be "the probability of this AND this" To find this type, you multiply your ratios. Do you think you can solve it from here?

no im stupid >-<

That's all right. Your ratios are 1/6 and 1/6, so your multiplication will look like this $\frac{ 1 }{ 6 }\times\frac{ 1 }{ 6 }$ Then you cross multiply (NumeratorxNumerator, DenominatorxDenominator)

Does that make sense/do you think you can solve it from here?

5. anonymous

im not good with math at all >~<

6. anonymous

nm is 1/36

7. anonymous

am i right

8. anonymous

Yeah! =D

9. anonymous

can it be simplified

10. anonymous

No, because 1 is not divisible by anything.

11. anonymous

will you help me somemore

Sure =)
