The number of words classified as ubiquitous words out of 296 considered words if ubiquitous appeared seven times more often than words that appeared seldom is 259 words.
Equation
- Total words considered = 296 words
- Seldom words = x
- ubiquitous words = 7x
Total words = Seldom words + ubiquitous words
296 = x + 7x
296 = 8x
divide both sides by 8
x = 296/8
x = 37
So,
Seldom words = x
= 37 words
ubiquitous words = 7x
= 7(37)
= 259 words
Therefore, the number of words classified as ubiquitous words is 259 words
