Answer 1

Answer:

The probability of rolling a 3 and then a 5 is 1/36.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rolling a six sided die is an independent event.  That means for each roll, you have the same chance of rolling a number as the previous roll.  Since there are six different numbers on a die, then there are six different outcomes for each roll - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6.  The chances that you would roll a '3' is 1 out of 6, or 1/6.  The chances that you would roll a '5' is also 1 out of 6, or 1/5.  However, when we combine these events, we need to take each probability and multiply them.  So, the probability of rolling a '3' and then a '5' is 1/6 x 1/6 or 1/36.
