Question

rolls a die what is probability of getting a 5 either times

Answer 1

straightforward, and you don’t need statistics to figure it out.

There are six sides to a die — a single roll will give you one of any of those numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6.

You’re asking for two of those possibilities, a 5.

That’s two numbers out of six… which you can write as 1 divided by 6 (or 1/6).
