Write 2.71x10-3 as an ordinary number.
1 answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This can be rewritten as
If we will solve this way,
But since the denominator is just in terms of 1, we can just simply get the (-3). Note that we have to take the negative into consideration.
From the original position of the decimal point, move the decimal point 3 times TO THE LEFT. Therefore, from 2.71 we move the decimal point 3 times to the left, 0.00271.
If the exponent has a positive value, move TO THE RIGHT.
For example,
Note that the exponent has a positive value. Therefore, we have to move the decimal point 3 times TO THE RIGHT. Producing 2710 as the answer.

Answer:
a) S = {1, 2, 3}
b) P(odd number) =
c) No
d) Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The sample space is the set of all possible outcomes. By definition, the elements of a set should not be repeated. Hence, the sample space S = {1, 2, 3}
However, the sample is not equiprobable because each element has different probabilities.
b) P(odd number) =
Note that the odd numbers are 1 (on three faces) and 3 (on one face).
c) The fact the die has been biased does not change the possible outcomes. It only changes the probability of getting any given number.
d) Because the 3-face has been loaded, this probability changes. In fact, it is calculated thus:
Let's assume the probability for 1 or 2 is . Then that of 3 is
(because it is twice the others). The sum of probabilities must be 1.
P(odd number) = Prob(1) + Prob(3)
= =
