I have a data point: 2.44x10^(-9) (+/-)7x10^(-11) which I’d like to represent without scientific notation and without being a number with a bunch of zeros to the right of the decimal place and as a positive number. This is one reason we use the log function. What is p(datapoint)? (p is a function, specifically the -log function) What is the error in p(datapoint)?

Solution

I am bit confused with your question. Actually we never define log function for a point. If you want to plot a point then we just plot it on graph, how big the number is that dosent matter. If a number a too big say in million or trillion or too small like 10 to the power -9 i.e., 10^-9 then we put very big and small numbers respectively on the x-axis and plot the point.

Well, if you want to find the log of this number then it will be => log (2.44 * 10^-9 ) = 0.3874 - 9 = -8.6126 .
