Sagot :

To solve this question, we need to understand the concept of "order of magnitude." The order of magnitude of a number is essentially the power of 10 when the number is expressed in scientific notation.

1. The population of the United States is approximately 331 million.
2. In scientific notation, this can be written as [tex]\( 3.31 \times 10^8 \)[/tex].

The exponent in the scientific notation gives us the order of magnitude.

Thus, the order of magnitude of the population of the United States is [tex]\( 8 \)[/tex].

Given this, the statement "The Order of Magnitude for the population of the United States is 4" is:

B. False
