➷There is a dice and you have 6 numbers

The probability is 1/36, since it is 1/6 to get a 2 the first time, and 1/6 to get a 1 the next time.

Answer:  The required probability is [tex]\dfrac{1}{36}.[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given that a six-sided number cube is rolled.

We are to find the probability of getting a 2 and then a 1, given that the first number rolled was 2.

Let S denotes the sample space of rolling a six-sided cube, A be the event of rolling a 2 and B be the event of rolling a 1.

Then,

n(S) = 6, n(A) = 1 and n(B) = 1.

Now, the probabilities of events A and B :

[tex]P(A)=\dfrac{n(A)}{n(S)}=\dfrac{1}{6},\\\\\\P(B)=\dfrac{n(B)}{n(S)}=\dfrac{1}{6}.[/tex]

Since the two events A and B are independent of each other, so the required probability is given by

[tex]P(A\cap B)=P(A)\times P(B)=\dfrac{1}{6}\times\dfrac{1}{6}=\dfrac{1}{36}.[/tex]

Thus, the required probability is [tex]\dfrac{1}{36}.[/tex]
