As of July 1, 2014, the population of India was about 1,267,000,000. How can you write this number in scientific notation? 1. Move the decimal point to the right of the first digit. What is the first factor?
2. Count the number of digits after the decimal point. How many places did you move the decimal point?
3. Did you move the decimal point to the right or to the left? What does this tell you about the power of 10 in the second factor?
4. What is the second factor written as a power of 10?
5. Write the population of India in scientific notation.

An engineer is going to redesign an ejection seat for an airplane. the seat was designed for pilots weighing between 120 lb and 161 lb. the new population of pilots has normally distributed weights with a mean of 125 lb and a standard deviation of 28.1 lb. a)if a pilot is randomly selected, find the probability that his weight is between 120 lb and 161 lb.the probability is approximately? b. if 36 different pilots are randomly selected, find the probability that their mean weight is between 120 lb and 161 lb. the probability is approximately? c. when redesigning the ejection seat, which probability is more relevant? . part (b) because the seat performance for a single pilot is more important. b. part (b) because the seat performance for a sample of pilots is more important. c. part (a) because the seat performance for a sample of pilots is more important. d. part (a) because the seat performance for a single pilot is more important.
