Hypothetical Situation: A scientist notices that her bees may be avoiding a specific pollen from flower "X" despite its abundance in the area. To test to see if this behavior is reproducible and not anecdotal, she decides to provide a choice test to her bees. She does this by putting the bees in a small cage with two dishes. One with pollen from flower "X" the other is pollen from a flower that she knows her bees collect, flower "Y." She counts how many times the bees chooses Flower "X" vs Flower "Y" and collects this data. What is experimental group?

The experimental group in this case are the group of bees that are put in the small cage.

Step-by-step explanation:

The experimental group is the group of subjects that participate in the test. They are usually assigned to the treatments in study. In some cases there is a control group, with no assigned treatment.

In this case, the bees that she put in the cage, and they are not assigned to a particular treatment. It can be considered a control group.

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.
