Explanation:

Let's answer the question correctly this way:

Population of New York State = 19'650,000

Population of New York City = 8'406,000

Population that do not live in New York City = 19'650,000 - 8'406,000

Population that do not live in New York City = 11'244,000

Population that do not live in New York City in scientific notation = 1.1244 * 10⁷

The answer in standard notation is 11'244,000. The answer in scientific notation is p * 10∧7, where p is 1.1244 and q is 7.
