The <em>proper</em> notation may depend on where you are. In the US, we like there to be one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point, hence the appropriate form is ...

... 6.59×10¹¹

_____

Elsewhere, the "proper" form may require the first non-zero digit be placed to the right of the decimal point, as in 0.659×10¹². This is also the form used by some computer languages.

In Engineering usage, quite often the desired form is one that has the exponent be a multiple of 3, so the appropriate forms would be 659×10⁹ or 0.659×10¹².

Sometimes when you're doing problems using numbers in scientific notation, it can be convenient to scale the operands so the result comes out with no need for rescaling. For example, if you were to divide 100 by this number, you might write ...

... 100/(65.9×10¹⁰) ≈ 1.517×10⁻¹⁰

Without this "pre-scaling", you would get

... (10²)/(6.59×10¹¹) ≈ 0.1517×10⁻⁹ = 1.517×10⁻¹⁰

which requires rescaling the answer.

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Having the information on how many events there are and how many people in each event there would help me personally solve this

what i can tell you is its a probability thing a tree diagram is starting with something, like flipping a coin, and creating a branch for heads and tails, 0.5 for each branch. like the attachment I have on here. there's only 2 probable results from a coin, but if I have 5 events with 50 competitors I've created a lot more probable outcomes, it also depends on the events, if one of my competitors in 6'9" and ones 5'2" and the event is a dunk contest it would be slightly unfair and the probability of the person who is 5'2" changing your tree diagram :)

Answer:

8w : 3.8974342 ≈ 3.9 or 4 (hope it help)

Step-by-step explanation:

1w : 2

2w : 2 + 10% = 2.2

3w : 2.2 + 10% = 2.42

4w : 2.42 + 10% = 2.662

5w : 2.662 + 10% = 2.9282

6w : 2.9282 + 10% = 3.22102

7w : 3.22102 + 10% = 3.543122

8w : 3.543122 + 10% = 3.8974342

3.8974342 ≈ 3.9 or 4
