Answer: p = 1/25

Explanation:

Ok, you know that the probability of rolling a six is p = 1/5

now, if you want to have two sixes, then you have two events with a probability of 1/5.

And as you know the joint probability for two events is equal to the product of the probabilities, then the probability of rolling two sixes is:

p = (1/5)*(1/5) = 1/25.
