a.) 0.51

b.) 1445

Step-by-step explanation:

a.) 5.1 x 10^-1 can be written as 5.1 x 0.1 which equals 0.51.

b.) 1.7 x 10^4 x 8.5 x 10^-2 can be simplified either by condensing 10^4 and 10^-2 to equal 10^2, or substituting the expression into a calculator.

This should equal 1.7 x 8.5 x 10^2 or 1445.

the correct answer is b) histograms can be used to exhibit the shape of distributions. this is because histograms count the frequency of each possible answer, so one is able to see which results are more common and which are less common.

the answer will be
