Answer:

A.\ \dfrac{1}{3}\\B.\ \dfrac{5}{12}\\C.\ \dfrac{7}{36}\\

Step-by-step explanation:

Total outcomes possible: 36

A. Divisible by 3

Possible options are:

3, 6, 9 and 12.

Possible outcomes for 3 are: {(1,2), (2,1)} Count 2

Possible outcomes for 6 are: {(1,5), (2,4), (3,3), (5,1),(4,2)} Count 5

Possible outcomes for 9 are: {(3,6), (4,5), (5,4),(6,3)} Count 4

Possible outcomes for 12 are: {(6,6)} Count 1

Total count = 2 + 5 + 4 + 1 = 12

Probability of an event E can be formulated as:

P(E) = \dfrac{\text{Number of favorable cases}}{\text {Total number of cases}}

P(A)  = \dfrac{12}{36} = \dfrac{1}{3}

B. Less than 7:

Possible sum can be 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

Possible cases for sum 2: {(1,1)}  Count 1

Possible cases for sum 3: {(1,2), (2,1)}  Count 2

Possible cases for sum 4: {(1,3), (3,1), (2,2)}  Count 3

Possible cases for sum 5: {(1,4), (2,3), (3,2),(4,1)}  Count 4

Possible cases for sum 6: {(1,5), (2,4), (3,3), (5,1),(4,2)} Count 5

Total count = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15

P(B)  = \dfrac{15}{36} = \dfrac{5}{12}

C. Divisible by 3 and less than 7:

P(A \cap B) = \dfrac{n(A\cap B)}{\text{Total Possible outcomes}}

Here, common cases are:

Possible outcomes for 3 are: {(1,2), (2,1)} Count 2

Possible outcomes for 6 are: {(1,5), (2,4), (3,3), (5,1),(4,2)} Count 5

P(A \cap B) = \dfrac{7}{\text{36}}

The position function for a free-falling object is s(t) = -16t^2 + vt +5. A ball is thrown upward from the top of a 400-foot bui
mixer [17]

Answer:

6.21 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The position function of a free-falling object is,

s(t) = -16t^2+v_0t+s_0

Where,

s_0 = initial height of the object,

v_0 = initial velocity of the object,

Here,

s_0=400\text{ feet}

v_0=35\text{ feet per sec}

Hence, the height of the ball after t seconds,

s(t)=-16t^2+35t+400

When s(t) = 0,

\implies -16t^2+35t+400=0

t=\frac{-35\pm \sqrt{35^2-4\times -16\times 400}}{2\times -16}

t=\frac{-35\pm \sqrt{1225+25600}}{-32}

\implies t\approx -4.02\text{ or }t\approx 6.21

∵ Time cannot be negative,

Hence, after 6.21 seconds the ball will reach the ground.
