The answer depends on the value of the new point. If the new value is near the mean then the new standard deviation (SD) will be smaller, if it is far away, the new SD will be larger.

A score set has a mean of 53 and a standard deviation of 5.6 If each score was multiplied by 0.9 and then had 7 added state the new standard deviation?

Standard deviation is the spread of the data. If each score has 7 added, this would not affect the spread of the data - it would be just as evenly spaced or clumped up, but 7 greater. The only thing that would affect the spread is multiplying every data point by 0.9. This makes distances between the data points 0.9 times as big, and thus makes the standard deviation 0.9 times as big. The standard deviation was 5.6, and so now is 5.6x0.9 = 5.04

How do you make decimals into standard form?

Move the decimal point to the left or right so that it is after the first non-zero digit. Count the number of places that the decimal point has been moved.The mantissa for the standard for is the new decimal representation. The index, for the 10 is the number of places that the decimal point was moved: positive if the dp was moved to the left and negative if to the right.So, for example,34500 = 3.45*10^40.000345 = 3.45*10^-4
