A single die is rolled twice. Find the probability of getting a 1 the first time and a 2 the second time.
To find the probability of two independent events occurring, we multiply the probabilities of each event.
The probability of rolling a 1 on the first roll of the die is 1/6, since there is only one 1 out of six possible outcomes.
The probability of rolling a 2 on the second roll of the die is also 1/6.
Therefore, the probability of rolling a 1 on the first roll and a 2 on the second roll is (1/6) * (1/6), which simplifies to 1/36.
Thus, the probability of getting a 1 the first time and a 2 the second time is 1/36.
