In August , tropical storm Isaac formed in the Caribbean and was headed for the Gulf of Mexico. There was an initial probability of that Isaac would become a hurricane by the time it reached the Gulf of Mexico (National Hurricane Center website, August , ). Let event Isaac becomes a hurricane by the time it reaches the Gulf of Mexico. event Isaac does not become a hurricane and remains a tropical storm when it reaches the Gulf of Mexico. event that Isaac passes over Cuba. a. What was the probability that Isaac would not become a hurricane but remain a tropical storm when it reached the Gulf of Mexico (to decimals)

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.
