A department store stocks pants and shorts in the colors black and blue. The relative frequency of their orders for blue pants is half the relative frequency of their orders for black shorts. Which two-way frequency table could represent the data from the store's orders?

Table 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is to identify the table where the relative frequency of orders for blue pants is half the relative frequency of their orders for black shorts.

We are interested in the number of blue pants and black shorts.

If we name them as p and b respectively, then we are looking for a table where s/p=2

Let's verify relevant data in all tables:

Table 1:

Table 2:

Table 3:

Table 4:

So only one of tables- the second one from top represents the required data.

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.

this answer is !
