Hey there

To make it perfectly clear, consider the sample space for rolling a die twice. There are 36 equally likely possible outcomes, 6 of which define the event "rolling the same number two times in a row". Then, the probability of this event occurring is 636, which is equal to 16.

Hope this hope

Answer:

1/36

Explanation:

the fair die has 6 equal parts which means its the total

the probability of rolling a 6 is 1/6

the probability of rolling another 6 is 1/6

so u multiply 1/6 times 1/6 which is 1/36

hope this helps
