Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To convert a number from scientific notation to decimal notation, we move the decimal point to the left or right depending on the sign of the exponent. For $5.92 \times 10^{-3}$, the exponent is negative, so we move the decimal point to the left by three places to get $\boxed{0.00592}$.
