Answer:

1/36

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the collective probability, you multiply the two separate probabilities together. to get a 5, you have a 1/6 chance and the same with a 2. So you multiple 1/6 and 1/6 to get 1/36

Final answer:

The probability of rolling a 2 on the first die and a 5 on the second die is 1/36.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of rolling a 2 on the first die is 1/6, and the probability of rolling a 5 on the second die is also 1/6. To find the probability of both events happening, you need to multiply the probabilities together. So, the probability of rolling a 2 on the first die and a 5 on the second die is (1/6) x (1/6) = 1/36.
