To write (3.3 times 10^{-3}) in standard form, you need to move the decimal point in the number (3.3) three places to the left because of the negative exponent.

1. Start with (3.3).
2. Move the decimal point three places left:

– (3.3) becomes (0.0033).

So, (3.3 times 10^{-3}) in standard form is (0.0033).
