HW Score: 29.41\%, 5 of 17 points Points: 0 of 1 Say A single die is rolled twice. The 36 equally-likely outcomes are shown to the right. Find the probability of getting a first number that is greater than the second number. The probability of getting a first number that is greater than the second number is (Type an integer or a simplified fraction.)
