We have that the probability of Janice rolling a 2 or 5 on her 7th toss of the dice is

$\frac{1}{3}^7.$

From the question we are told that

Janice rolled either a 2 or a 5 on the last 6 rolls of the die

Janice rolling a 2 or 5 on her 7th toss of the dice

$P(2/ 5)=1/6+1/6\\\\P(2/ 5)=2/6\\\\P(2/ 5)=1/3.$

Where

$P(2/5 ) =(1/3)^6.$

Janice roll the standard die 7th time the probability of getting 2 or 5 is

$P(2/5 ) =\frac{1}{3}^7.$
