A single die is rolled twice. Find the probability of getting a 2 the first time and a 5 the second time.
When rolling a fair six-sided die, there are six possible outcomes: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. The probability of rolling a 2 on the first roll is 1 out of 6, since there is only one 2 on the die. The probability of rolling a 5 on the second roll is also 1 out of 6.
Since these two rolls are independent events (the outcome of the first roll does not affect the outcome of the second roll), we can multiply the probabilities.
Thus, the probability of rolling a 2 on the first roll and a 5 on the second roll is $\frac{1}{6} \times \frac{1}{6} = \frac{1}{36}$.
