Hi!

When we write a number in scientific notation, we write it like this:
N × 10^{x}

N = a number between one and 10
x = negative if the decimal is moved to the right. positive if moved to the left.

Okay, so we need to move the decimal in the number <span>0.0059 to the right to make it between one and 10.
0.0059
00.059
000.59
0005.9
5.9

N = 5.9
5.9 </span>× 10^{-x}

Since we moved the decimal to the right 3 times,
x = -3

5.9 × 10^{-3}
^ the answer

Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

The scientific notation for the provided number is 5.9 \times 10^{-3}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Steps to convert a number in scientific notation:

Step 1: Shift the decimal place to right in order to make a new number from 1 to 10.

Step 2: Now identify the exponent, by the number of times decimal moved.

Consider the provided number 0.0059.

5.9 \times 10^{x}

Now count the number of times we moved decimal i.e 3. Here, decimal moved to the right, therefore, the exponent is negative.

5.9 \times 10^{-3}

Hence, the scientific notation for the provided number is 5.9 \times 10^{-3}.

Solution:

<em>Simple Interest = Principal Amount × Rate of Interest/100 × Time</em>

Here, Principal Amount = $6000

Rate of Interest =  6%

Time = 4 years

Simple Interest = 6000 × 6/100 × 4 = <em>$1440</em>

Suppose that 10% of the undergraduates at a certain university are foreign students, and that 25% of the graduate students are f
Deffense [45]

Answer:

0.6154 = 61.54% probability that the student is an undergraduate

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

P(A \cap B) is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

Event A: Foreign

Event B: Undergraduate.

There are four times as many undergraduates as graduate students

So 4/5 = 80% are undergraduate students and 1/5 = 20% are graduate students.

Probability the student is foreign:

10% of 80%

25% of 20%. So

P(A) = 0.1*0.8 + 0.25*0.2 = 0.13

Probability that a student is foreign and undergraduate:

10% of 80%. So

P(A \cap B) = 0.1*0.8 = 0.08

What is the probability that the student is an undergraduate?

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.08}{0.13} = 0.6154

0.6154 = 61.54% probability that the student is an undergraduate
