Q. You roll a 66-sided die two times. What is the probability of rolling a 66 and then rolling a 66? Write your answer as a fraction or whole number.
  1. Calculate Probability of Rolling a 66: Determine the probability of rolling a 66 on a single roll of a 66-sided die. Since there are 66 sides on the die, and only one of those sides is a 66, the probability of rolling a 66 on one roll is 11 out of 66. Calculation: P(rolling a 6)=16P(\text{rolling a } 6) = \frac{1}{6}
  2. Calculate Probability of Rolling a 66 Again: Determine the probability of rolling a 66 on the second roll of the die.\newlineThe probability of rolling a 66 on the second roll is independent of the first roll, so it is also 11 out of 66.\newlineCalculation: P(rolling a 6 again)=16P(\text{rolling a } 6 \text{ again}) = \frac{1}{6}
  3. Calculate Combined Probability: Calculate the combined probability of rolling a 66 on the first roll and a 66 on the second roll.\newlineSince the two events are independent, we multiply the probabilities of each event occurring.\newlineCalculation: P(rolling a 6 and then a 6)=P(rolling a 6 on first roll)×P(rolling a 6 on second roll)=16×16=136P(\text{rolling a } 6 \text{ and then a } 6) = P(\text{rolling a } 6 \text{ on first roll}) \times P(\text{rolling a } 6 \text{ on second roll}) = \frac{1}{6} \times \frac{1}{6} = \frac{1}{36}
