Question 1024471: Chris rolls two number cubes, one after another. What is the experimental probability that both number cubes will show a 1?
Would the experimental probability be 1/36, because 1/6 * 1/6 = 1/36 if there are two number cubes.. there is only 1 on a number cube so it would be 1/6. 6 numbers on a number cube. Is it correct?

Everything is OK.

The only thing which I do not understand is why the word "experimental" is used here,
in formulation of this problem, while we manipulate here with theoretical probability, only.
