Given:
Total sample space, n(s)=36.
To find the probability that the sum of the pips is 6 on the upward faces of the 2 dice:
A be an event of getting the sum as 6.
n(A)=5
Hence, the probability that the sum of the pips 6 is,
Hence, the answer is,

Explanation:
<u>Equation:</u>
This is a decaying exponential function, because the exponent is negative.
Then, the larger the value of t (number of months), the smaller A (the number of hectares).
The factor 1,562.5 is the initial number of hecares, when t = 0.
You must find the value of t when A equals 500, thus solve the equation:
Divide both sides by 1,562.5
Take base-10 logarithms on both sides:
Note that the logarithm of a number decimal number is negative number, thus t will be positive. When you compute that, it is about 4.9 months.

Answer:
63.7% or 33.35 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The hint suggests that we find the points where the drive begins and ends picking up the transmitter. We suspect both of those points will have irrational coordinates, so finding the distance between them will involve dealing with squares and roots of irrational numbers. We want to see if there's an easier way.
The distance from the transmitter to the path being driven can be found using the "distance to a line" formula. First, we need the equation of the line in general form. In intercept form, it is ...
y/38 +x/36 = 1
19x +18y -684 = 0 . . . . . . multiply by LCM(36, 38) and subtract that amount
Then the distance from the origin to the line is ...
d = |19·0 +18·0 -684|/√(19² +18²) = 685/√685 ≈ 26.1243
The distance (x) along the line from the point where the transmitter is first picked up until the point of closest approach can be found from the Pythagorean theorem:
x² + (26.1243)² = 31²
x² = 31² -(684/√685)² = 190429/685
x ≈ 16.6733
The driving distance for which the transmitter is picked up is twice this, so is ...
2x = 2(16.6733) ≈ 33.3466 . . . miles
The total drive length is also given by the Pythagorean theorem:
drive length = √(36² +38²) = √2740 ≈ 52.3450 . . . miles
Then the fraction of the drive during which the signal is picked up is ...
fraction = (33.3466 mi)/(52.3450 mi) ≈ 0.6371 ≈ 63.7%
__
The signal is picked up for 33.35 miles, about 63.7% of the drive.
______
The intercept-form equation for a line is ...
x/(x-intercept) +y/(y-intercept) = 1
The distance from (x, y) to line ax+by+c=0 is given by ...
d = |ax+by+c|/√(a²+b²)
The Pythagorean theorem relates legs a, b and hypotenuse c of a right triangle this way:
c² = a² +b²
