Explain why you might want to write very large and very small numbers like the ones in the example problem in scientific notatio
1 answer:
Answer:
Extremely large and small numbers that have many zeros are long to write and take up a lot of room. So, by using scientific notation a number can be written shorter. For example, numbers such as 295,000,000,000 can be shortened to 2.95x. This is easier to write and understand. This is why the scientific notation is used over standard.

Answer:
a) 0.1091
b) 0.9994
c) 0.5886
Step-by-step explanation:
X = the number of fish out of 20 that die after 24 hours
x = 0, 1, 2, . . . , 20
X~ Binomial (n= 20, p =0.20)
P(14 survive) = P(X = 6)
= =0.1091
Similarly we can find out
P(at least 10 survive) = P( X <= 10 ) = (Using technology) = 0.9994
P(at most 16 will survive) = P(X <= 16) = (Using technology) = 0.5886
