there are 6 possible outcomes, and only one is a success, so
P(5) = 1/6
Now you want two independent events, so just multiply their probabilities.
Of the 36 possible outcomes, only 1 is a success...
a die is thrown twice, find the probability of getting two 5’s. Be sure to represent your answer as a fraction in simplest form!

Ok so first you have to find the Number of successful outcomes over Total number of possible outcomes. So P(two 5s) is equal to 1/6 then you times the denominator by the same number to get 1/36.
