Answer:

1/36

Explanation:

You want the probability of an outcome of 1 and 1 on two throws of a die.

Outcomes

Each die has 6 possible outcomes, generally considered to be equally-likely. That means the probability of rolling a 1 is 1/6.

The die are presumed to provide outcomes that are independent when they are repeatedly rolled. That means the probability of any given sequence of outcomes is the product of the probabilities of the individual outcomes in the sequence.

p(1) = 1/6

p(1 and 1) = (1/6)(1/6) = 1/36

The probability of getting 1 on both throws is 1/36.
