red die and a black die are rolled at the same time. The probability of getting a 6 on the red die is 16, and the probability of getting a 3 on the black die is 16. Given that the two events are independent, what is their combined probability?

1/36 is the answer. But I'm not sure

it should be 1/6 not 16

there are 6 numbers on a die so to get a number you have a 1/6 probability

so 1/6 x 1/6 = 1/36

the probability of getting both a 6 and a 3 is 1/36
