C Correct answer
Explanation

The probability of getting a 5 on one die is 1/6, so the probability of not getting a 5 is 5/6. For two dice, the probability of not getting a 5 on either is (5/6) * (5/6) = 25/36.

AI explanation

The probability of not getting a 5 on a single die is 5/6. Since the two dice are independent, the probability of not getting a 5 on either of them is found by multiplying the individual probabilities. Thus, the calculation is (5/6) * (5/6) = 25/36.
