The number 12,300 is written 1.23 x 10⁴ as a scientific notation. It's coefficient is 1.23; base is 10⁴ in exponent form.
Scientific notation is a method developed by scientists to shorten the number that expresses a very large number. The scientific notation is based on powers of the base number 10.
Scientific notation has two numbers: coefficient and base. The coefficient must be greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10. The base is always 10 written in exponent form.
12,300 as coefficient in standard form in scientific notation.
1) put decimal after the first digit and drop the zeros. from 12,300 to 1.23 this is the coefficient.
2) to find the exponent, count the number of places from decimal to the end of the number.
1.2300 ; there are 4 places
So the scientific notation is 1.23 x 10⁴
Answer:
The mean for the second week is $2 less than the first and in percentage it is 22% less.
Step-by-step explanation:
The mean is given by the sum of all individual values divided by the number of values. For the first week the sum is:
sum1 = 6.5 + 8 + 7.25 + 13.5 + 9.75
sum1 = 45
Since she spent 10 less in the second week the sum is:
sum2 = sum1 - 10 = 45 - 10 = 35
The mean for each week is:
mean1 = sum1/5 = 45/5 = 9
mean2 = sum2/5 = 35/5 = 7
difference = mean1 - mean2 = 9-7 = 2
difference(%) = [2/9]*100 = 0.22*100 = 22%
The mean for the second week is $2 less than the first and in percentage it is 22% less.
