Question from Intermediate Algebra 10th edition by Pearson (Ch 1.7 hw probolem 57) "IBM estimated that 2.5 exabytes of information was generated everyday in 2012 by the worldwide population of 7.1 billion people. Given that an average double spaced typed page is equivalent to 2 kilobytes of information, each person generated , on average, is equivalent of how many typed pages of information?"
I know what im given, and know I have to write to answer in correct scientific notation. Ive read the chapter over and over but I still dont know what equation Im supposed to use to solve this, because the text book isnt really specific on what to do.

- Calculate the age standardized IHD mortality rate using the Standard population. Show all calculations. (See attached image) Shouldn't the answer be like this? : Age-specific rate, 0 to 19 years= 11 (number of deaths) ÷ 9043000 (total population) × 40,000= 0.0487 IHD deaths Age-specific rate, 20 to 39 years = 606 (number of deaths) ÷ 12543000 (total population) × 28, 000= 1.35 IHD deaths Age-specific rate, 40 to 59 years= 10,071 (number of deaths) ÷ 11060000 (total population) × 21,000= 19.1 IHD deaths Age-specific rate, 60 to 79 years = 44947 (number of deaths) ÷ 6568000 (total population) × 10,000 = 68.4 IHD deaths Age-specific rate, 80+ years = 28940 (number of deaths) ÷ 779000 (total population) × 1000 = 37.2 IHD deaths MULTIPLYING EACH BY THE STANDARD POPULATION FOR EACH AGE GROUP, NOT MULTIPLYING BY 100,000?? And do we add all the numbers up to get 126 deaths per 100,000 people or do we leave the numbers for each age group as is? Thank you.arrow_forwardStuck need help! Problem is attached. please view attachment before answering. Really struggling with this concept. Please explain so I can better understand ! Thank you so mucharrow_forwardEspañol Weber's law, a concept taught in most Introduction to Psychology courses, states that the ratio of the intensity of a stimulus to the "just noticeable" increment in intensity is constant, that is, the ratio doesn't depend on the intensity of the stimulus. The ratio is called the "Weber fraction," so a concise statement of Weber's law is that "the Weber fraction is constant, regardless of the stimulus intensity." It turns out that Weber's law is not so much a law as it is a rule of thumb, since it is violated in many situations. For instance, for some auditory stimuli, the Weber fraction does depend systematically on the stimulus intensity. The following bivariate data are the experimental data obtained for one listener in an auditory intensity discrimination task. For each of the ten stimulus intensities x (in decibels), the Weber fraction y (in decibels) is shown. Figure 1 is a scatter plot of the data. Also given is the product of the stimulus intensity and the Weber fraction…arrow_forward
