Let’s denote the number of textbooks sold by Keller Publishing as x. Consequently, the number sold by Scholastic Books would be 4x. Together, they sold a total of 7775 textbooks. This gives us the equation x + 4x = 7775, which simplifies to 5x = 7775. Therefore, x equals 1555. Hence, the total number of textbooks sold by Scholastic Books is 4x, resulting in 4 * 1555 = 6220. I trust this explanation is clear enough for your understanding.

Suppose log subscript a x equals 3, log subscript a y equals 7, and log subscript a z equals short dash 2. Find the value of the
AnnZ [12381]

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the logarithmic expressions given log_ax = 3, log_ay = 7, log_az = -2, we need to identify the value of log_a(\frac{x^3y}{z^4} )

from\ log_ax = 3, x = a^3\\\\from\ log_ay = 7,y = a^7\\\\from\ log_az = -2, z = a^{-2}By substituting x = a³, y = a⁷, and z = a⁻² into the logarithmic function log_a(\frac{x^3y}{z^4} ), we will derive;

= log_a(\frac{x^3y}{z^4} )\\\\= log_a(\dfrac{(a^3)^3*a^7}{(a^{-2})^4} )\\\\= log_a(\dfrac{a^9*a^7}{a^{-8}} )\\\\= log_a\dfrac{a^{16}}{a^{-8}} \\\\= log_aa^{16+8}\\\\= log_aa^{24}\\\\= 24log_aa\\\\= 24* 1\\\\= 24

Therefore, the result of the logarithmic expression is 24

The random variable X, representing the number of cherries in a cherry puff, has the following probability distribution:x: 4 - 5
Leona [12618]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability distribution for the random variable X is provided.

X 4 5 6 7 Total

P 0.2 0.4 0.3 0.1 1

x*p 0.8 2 1.8 0.7 5.3

x^2*p 3.2 10 10.8 4.9 28.9

a) The expected value E(X), representing the mean of X, equates to 5.3.

Var(x) = 28.9-5.3^2=0.81

Standard deviation is the square root of the variance, which amounts to 0.9.

------------------------------------

b) For the mean of the sample, we find:

Mean = 5.3

Variance = var(x)/n = \frac{0.81}{{36} } \\=0.0225

c) P(\bar X

In the expression 2(10x) + 15y, x represents the number of hours Nina works in a week at a clothing store and y represents the n
zzz [12365]
Among the options provided, the statement that holds true is the third one: "Nina makes 20x dollars each week at the clothing store." The information given explicitly mentions that x denotes the total hours she has worked within a week. This assertion renders the other statements incorrect.
