Hello,

Can you explain why the probability of rain not occuring on Tuesday is not factored into the answer. Answer 1/36 seems very direct. Since there are 2 possible outcomes for this situation to occur. Monday and Tuesday it rains or Monday rains but Tuesday it doesn't rain. Since Tuesday has the probability it would not rain as an outcome. Shouldn't it be 1/6* 5/6= 5/36. Therefore the probability of Monday and Tuesday rain would be 1/6* 5/36= 5/192. I would appreciate if you could clarify the initial answer and response. Thank you so much for your time and help. Much appreciated.
