Probability - Dice Toss When rolling two dice, what is the probability that the roll will be $5$, $2$ on two consecutive rolls? I'm pretty sure it's $\frac{2}{36}$ for one roll, but I'm not sure how to figure the second. The answer in the book says it's $\frac{1}{36}$, but I can't figure out how it works.

Thanks for your help.
Have you quoted the question exactly ?

My hunch is that the question was asking :

When rolling a die twice, what is the probability of getting 5,2.

The book answer would then be correct, Pr = $\dfrac16\times\dfrac16 = \dfrac{1}{36}$
Because its two consecutive rolls , it takes place one after the other.. so, prob to get either 5 or 2 in first roll is (2/36) and prob to get either 5 or 2 in secd roll is (2/36). so the total prob will be 4/36=1/9.. so my answer is 1/9.
