How do you find the probability of rolling two dice and getting a sum of 2 then rolling again and getting a sum of 6?

Count the number of ways they can come up with that value compared to the total number of possible outcomes.
There are 6 different ways a die can fall.
There are therefore 36 different ways two dice can fall.
Of those, only 1 has a sum of 2: 1 on the first die and 1 on the second die (or "11", for short).
So the odds of rolling a 2 are 1/36.
There are 5 different ways to get a 6: 15 24 33 42 51, so the odds of rolling a six are 5/36.
The odds of rolling a 2 then a six are 1/36 * 5/36, or 5/1296.

What is the probability of getting 4 dots on top in rolling two dice?
The probability of rolling a 4 in a die is 1 in 6, or about 0.1667. The probability, then, of rolling a 4 in at least one of two dice rolls is twice that, or 2 in 6, or 0.3333. The probability of rolling a sum of 4 in two dice is 3 in 36, or 1 in 18, or about 0.05556.
