When rolling two dice, the rolls are independent events because the result of the first die does not affect the outcome of the second die. The total possible outcomes are (frac{1}{36}).1. Total Sample SpaceA single die has 6 faces: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}. When two dice are rolled together, the total number of combinations is:(6 times 6 = 36) possible outcomes.2. The Golden FormulaFor independent events (A and B), the probability of both specific events occurring simultaneously is the product of their individual probabilities:(P(A text{ and } B) = P(A) times P(B))3. Example Questions & SolutionsExample A: Rolling specific numbers (e.g., a 4 on the first die, and a 5 on the second die)Probability of getting a 4 on die 1: (frac{1}{6})Probability of getting a 5 on die 2: (frac{1}{6})Combined probability: (frac{1}{6} times frac{1}{6} = mathbf{frac{1}{36}})
