A company's board of directors took a random sample of 10% of the company's employees and surveyed them about their happiness at work. What would most likely happen if they decided to randomly sample 15% of the company's employees instead?
OA.
The sample mean would not be affected.
ОВ.
There is not enough information to determine how the sample mean would be affected.
OC. The sample mean would less closely model the population mean.
OD. The sample mean would more closely model the population mean.

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.
