Consider these three numbers written in scientific notation: 6.5 × 103, 5.5 × 105, and 1.1×103. which number is the greatest, and by how many times is it greater than the smallest number?

a. the greatest number is 5.5 × 105. it is 5 times greater than the smallest number.

b. the greatest number is 6.5 × 103. it is 50 times greater than the smallest number.

c. the greatest number is 5.5 × 105. it is 500 times greater than the smallest number.

d. the greatest number is 6.5 × 103. it is 5,000 times greater than the smallest number.

e. the greatest number is 5.5 × 105. it is 5,000 times greater than the smallest number.

need awnser

Option C. is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are three terms written in scientific notation

6.5 × 10³, 5.5 ×  and 1.1 × 10³

Now we can rewrite the numbers as

6,500, 550,000 and 1,100

Greatest number is 550,000 and smallest number is 1,100

and the ratio of greatest and smallest numbers is = 500

Therefore, greatest number 5.5 × is 500 times of the smallest number.

Option C. is the answer.

the answer   is 200

step-by-step explanation:

this is a problem about poisson probabilities.   i don't know if you've

already studied poisson distributions, or if you have a place to look

to read more about the subject.  

here's how you can see a poisson distribution coming.   when there are

a lot of events that may happen at any time (or any place), and when

you're counting how many of them happen at a particular time (or a

particular place), and each event is independent of the others, then

the result is a poisson distribution.   this is roughly true for the

chocolate chips; one chip being in a cookie has only a small effect on

the probability that another chip will be in the cookie.

once you know you have a poisson distribution, you know a lot.   there

is only one parameter to a poisson distribution, so if you know the

mean, you know everything.   the form of the distribution is

  probability of n chips = {[e^(-x)]*(x^n)} / (n! )

the fist one is not equalvalent but i think th second one isand the third isnt definetly or the last one is i think. hope this !
