To determine the probability of rolling a 3 and a 2 when two dice are rolled, we first need to find the total number of possible outcomes.
When rolling two dice, each die has 6 sides, so there are 6 possible outcomes for each die. Therefore, the total number of possible outcomes is 6 * 6 = 36.
Next, we determine the number of favorable outcomes, which in this case is the number of ways to roll a 3 and a 2.
When rolling two dice, the only way to roll a 3 and a 2 is if one die shows a 3 and the other die shows a 2. There is only one combination with these outcomes: (3, 2).
Therefore, the number of favorable outcomes is 1.
Finally, we calculate the probability by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes: 1/36.
Hence, the probability of rolling a 3 and a 2 when two dice are rolled is 1/36.
