Answer:

9 candles

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that Rashad needs 2/3 pound a wax to make candles.

It means,

$\frac{2}{3}\text{ pound }=1\text{ Candle}$

Multiply both sides by 3.

$3\times \frac{2}{3}\text{ pound }=3\times 1\text{ Candle}$

$2\text{ pound }=3\text{ Candle}$

Divide both sides by 2.

$1\text{ pound }=\frac{3}{2}\text{ Candle}$

Rashad can make 3/2 candle in one pound.

Multiply both sides by 6.

$6\times 1\text{ pound }=6\times\frac{3}{2}\text{ Candle}$

$6\text{ pound }=9\text{ Candle}$

Therefore, Rashad can make 9 candles in 6 pounds of wax.

What is the number of times a base is multiplied by its self indicated by an exponent

lozanna [386]

The question is worded a bit strangely (in my opinion anyway), but I think your teacher wants you to describe how exponents work.

Let's say we had the expression $5^3$

The base is 5 as its the bottom most value (think of something like the base of a tree or building). The exponent is 3.

The exponent of 3 tells the reader to multiply the base 5 by itself 3 times like so

$5^3 = 5*5*5 = 125$

With larger exponents, it becomes more tedious to write out all the repeated multiplications, which is why many calculators have an exponent button to save time.

Answer:

c) skewed to the right.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to remember that is a distribution is skewed to the right then we have the following condition satisfied:

$Mode< Median$

And if is skewed to the left then we have:

$Mean$

If the distribution is symmetric we need to satisfy:

$Mean = Median=Mode$

For this case since we have most of the values between 200000 and 500000 when we put atypical values like 15000000 that would affect the sample mean and on this case the sample mean would larger than the sample median because the median is a robust measure of central tendency not affected by outliers.

So for this special case we can say that the $Mean>Median$ . And probably the median would be higher than the mode so then we can conclude that the best answer for this case would be:
