Write the number 1.7 x 10^-5 in standard form

Apoll of 500 randomly selected likely voters predicted that candidate a would get 51% of the vote. the opposition insists that only 47% of the voters support candidate a. you test their claim using a simulation, based on the assumption that 47% of the likely voters will vote for candidate a. you assign digit pairs 00dash–46 to represent a voter who would pick candidate a and 47dash–99 to represent a voter who would not. you do 200 trials, recording the proportion of voters in each of your simulated samples that would vote for candidate a. the resulting sample proportions are shown in the accompanying plot. is the opposition's claim that candidate a has the support of only 47% of the likely voters plausible?
