Express the number in scientific notation. 780,000,000
2 answers:
Scientific notation implies that all the zeros are taken away and replaced with a 10 raised to whatever appropriate power would be necessary to make the number in scientific notation equal to the original number.
In the number 780,000,000, we can see that there are 7 zeros, but the number before the zeros has two digits, so we need to tuck the decimal point in there, because the number has to be between 1 and 10 for math reasons.
7.8 ... but what do we raise it to? We know it has to be 10, but to what power? Well, we just count how many places to the left the decimal point has traveled. From the original number, the decimal point shifted 8 places to the left, so that is the number that we will raise the 10 to.
The final number looks like this:
780,000,000 in scientific notation is <span>

Canceling units is also called unit analysis.
This is also called dimensional analysis.
What is a unit of analysis in statistics?
- The unit of analysis is the entity that you're analyzing. It's called this because it's your analysis (what you want to examine) that determines what this unit is, rather than the data itself.
- Because it is the analysis you do in your study that determines what the unit is.
- For instance, if you are comparing the children in two classrooms on achievement test scores, the unit is the individual child because you have a score for each child.
For example -
1 ft = 12 in
3 ft =
3 ft = ( 3 * 12 ) in ⇒ 36 in
