In a recent year, a poll asked 2324 random adult citizens of a large country how they rated economic conditions. In the poll, 23% rated the economy as Excellent/Good. A recent media outlet claimed that the percentage of citizens who felt the economy was in Excellent/Good shape was 22%. Does the poll support this claim? a) Test the appropriate hypothesis. Find a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of adults who rated the economy as Excellent/Good. Check conditions. b) Does your confidence interval provide evidence to support the claim? c) What is the significance level of the test in b? Explain.

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.
