After clarification we see the respective diameters are

A = 2.3 \times 10^{-a}

B = 2.3 \times 10^{-b}

We're asked about the ratio

A:B =  2.3 \times 10^{-a} :  2.3 \times 10^{-b} = 10^{-a} : 10^{-b} = 10^b : 10^a = 10^{b-a} : 1

Now we can go through the choices.

A. If a = 4 and b = 6, then cell a is 100 times greater than cell b.

A:B=10^{6-4}:1 = 100:1

It would be more proper to say the diameter of cell A is 100 times the diameter of cell B, but yes, this is TRUE.

B. If a = 4 and b = 6, then cell b is 100 times greater than cell a.

FALSE. 10 to the minus 4 is 100 times bigger than 10 to the minus 6, so a is bigger.

C. If a = 4 and b = 6, then cell a is 2 times greater than cell b.

FALSE. We already calculated its 100 times bigger.

D. If a = 4 and b = 6, then cell b is 2 times greater than cell a.

FALSE.

Answer:

A. If a = 4 and b = 6, then cell a is 100 times greater than cell b.

Step-by-step explanation:

2.3/2.3= 1

10(-4)/10(-6)=10(2)

your answer is 100, cell a is 100 times greater than cell b.

Otrada [13]

Answer:

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a  candy manufacturer is interested in the distribution of colors in each of its packages of candy sold. The manufacturer randomly sample packages from multiple batches at one factory.

Because he resorts to only one factory, there may be bias in the sample.  Other factories may have different processes of the settings and also if a diversified sample is taken then it is likely to represent the whole population, and hence results would be more accurate

Option A is incorrect since only one factory was done

C and D are not selected because one factory result cannot be generalised to all other factors in the same country or outside.

So answer would be

B) No, because the other factories may have different processes or the settings

320 students. Because you have to divide 384 by 6 which will give you 64 which is the number for the students that chose art and then subtract that from the total students which are 384 and you'll get 320 as your answer for the student that didn't pick art.
