Expert Solution
Step 1

HERE GIVEN, 

two distinguishable dice are rolled 

and both number are rolled as prime

here there are total 6*6 = 36 outcomes when rolled 2 dice

here probability of each number on die  = 1/6

rolling two die is independent event that is outcome on first die not depend on outcome on second die 

so here we can directly do multiplication for probability 

that is for example p(2,2) = (1/6)*(1/6) = 1/36
