Using base ten blocks subtraction

Which shows the expression below simplified? 0.00048 - (3.4 × 10-5) A. 4.46 × 10-4 B. 3.39952 × 10-5 C. 4.46 × 10-5 D. 1.4 × 10-

MakcuM [25]

Option C

The simplified form of given expression is $4.46 \times 10^{-4}$

Solution:

Given that we have to simplify the expression shown below

$0.00048 - (3.4 \times 10^{-5})$

Let us first convert 0.00048 to scientific notation

Steps to follow:

Move the decimal point in your number until there is only one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. The resulting decimal number is a.

Count how many places you moved the decimal point. This number is b.

If you moved the decimal to the left b is positive.

If you moved the decimal to the right b is negative.

If you did not need to move the decimal b = 0.

Write your scientific notation number as a x 10^b and read it as "a times 10 to the power of b."

Remove trailing 0's only if they were originally to the left of the decimal point.

$0.00048 = 4.8 \times 10^{-4}$

So the given expression becomes,

$\rightarrow 4.8 \times 10^{-4} - 3.4 \times 10^{-5}$

Let us make the exponent of second term as -4

$\rightarrow 4.8 \times 10^{-4} - 0.34 \times 10^{-4}$

Take $10^{-4}$ as common term,

$\rightarrow 10^{-4} (4.8 - 0.34)$

$\rightarrow 4.46 \times 10^{-4}$

Thus option C is correct

Suppose that the number of bacteria in a certain population increases according to an exponential growth model, with a growth ra

podryga [215]

Answer: 5489

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Growth rate (r) = 19% per hour

Sample culture in population = 2300

Size of sample after 5 hours =?

Using the exponential relation:

P = Po * r^t

P = population after 5 hours

Po = Initial sample population

t = time

P = 2300 * (1 +19%)^t

P = 2300 ×(1 + 0.19) ^5

P = 2300 * 1.19^5

P = 2300 * 2.3863536599

P = 5488.61341777

P = 5489 (nearest integer)

What are the hypotheses for testing to see if a correlation is statistically significant?

Andrew [12]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For testing of significance of correlation coefficient denoted by r, we create hypotheses in three ways

They are one tailed, two tailed. One tailed can be stated as right tailed and also left tailed.

The null hypothesis would normally be as r=0

Verbally we can say this there is no association between the dependent and independent variable (linear)

Against this alternate hypothesis is created as

either r not equal to 0

or r>0 or r<0

If r not equal to 0, we say two tailed hypothesis test

If r>0 is alternate hypothesis, it is right tailed test

If r<0 is alternate hypothesis, then it is left tailed test.
