Answer 1

`\begin{gathered} \text{the probability that the first number is correct is } \\ (1)/(6) \\ \\ \text{and the probability that the second number is incorrect is } \\ (5)/(6) \\ \\ \text{thus the probability that the first number is correct and the second is incorrect is } \\ (1)/(6)*(5)/(6)=(5)/(36) \end{gathered}`
