If, for example, a whole column contains whole dollar values and no cents, displaying .00 down the column looks cluttered. It is also important for number formats to be consistent and decreasing or increasing decimal places can keep numbers consistent in a row, column, or range. Diff: 3 Objective: 10. Apply number formats 98) Describe page orientation when printing. What is the default and in what circumstances may you want to change orientation? Answer: Orientation displays the orientation of the physical page--portrait, for worksheets with more rows than columns, and landscape, for worksheets with more columns than can fit in portrait orientation. Portland orientation is the default. Landscape orientation is more appropriate when a worksheet has many columns and fewer rows. Diff: 2 Objective: 11.

97) How does a nested function work? Provide an example. Answer: A nested function occurs when one function is embedded as an argument within another function. Each function has its own set of arguments that must be included. For example, =ROUND(AVERAGE(B2:B12),0)--the nested AVERAGE argument averages the range the ROUND argument rounds the result. Diff: 3 Objective: 4. Insert basic math and statistics functions 98) When might you want to use an IF function in a worksheet?

102) What is the difference between calculating standard deviation of a population versus a sample? Answer: When calculating standard deviation the ideal scenario would require all data from the entire group in question. In many situations this not possible, for example calculating the standard deviation of age for a city. Acquiring all information from every inhabitant would be difficult. When faced with this situation, statisticians often take a sample of the entire population to perform calculations.
