Question: Help with any these 2 math questions? 10 pts best answer!?

1. A science experiment produced 10,230,000 cells.What is this number in scientific notation?

2.A sample consists of 124 separate events that are equally likely.What is the probability of each?

if there is worked needed, will you please show me?! thanks in advance!

Answer: 1. A science experiment produced 10,230,000 cells.What is this number in scientific notation?

1.023 x 10^7

2.A sample consists of 124 separate events that are equally likely.What is the probability of each?

1/124

= .0080645 = .0081

= .81%

Question: The Vatican and science: would you like to perform a fun experiment?

Here’s a quote from a NYTimes article:

“In 2003 a senior Vatican official claimed condoms had tiny holes in them through which HIV can pass, exposing thousands of people to risk.”

Now for the experiment:
Take a condom.
Fill it with water.

Does the water stay inside?

And now, fun fact: a water molecule is approximately 10 000 times smaller than a virus.

Have a nice day!

Answer: What I think the pope was trying to say is tht condoms dont have a 100% success rate (cause they do break) where as absistaince dose.

But having said that the pope is living in a fansty land where no one has pre-martial sex.
