Give two examples that show how using parentheses can change the order in which operations are performed in an expression

Yes, parentheses can change the order in which operations are performed in an expression.

Let us understand this with two examples.

First example.

Let us suppose we have to simplify the expression

2\cdot (5-3)\\
=2\cdot 2\\
=4

In this expression we have evaluated subtraction first instead of multiply.

Second example.

Let us suppose we have to simplify the expression

(5\cdot 2)- 3\\
=10-3\\
=7

In this expression we have evaluated multiplication first and then subtraction.

Therefore, from above two examples we can see that  parentheses can change the order in which operations are performed in an expression.

A magnitude 6.7 earthquake struck the SanFernando valley region of Los Angeles in 1994, causing widespread damage. Suppose anoth
madam [21]

Answer: 2.308 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X denotes the number of earthquakes in SanFernando valley region of Los Angeles in 1994.

Given: \mu=17.6

Probability is 0.87 that there will be at least 15 earthquakes .

i.e. P(X\geq15)=0.87

\Rightarrow\ P(\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}\geq\dfrac{15-17.6}{\sigma})=0.87\\\\  \Rightarrow\ P(Z\geq\dfrac{-2.6}{\sigma})=0.87\ \ \ [Z=\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}]

Z-value corresponding to p-value 0.87 is -1.1263 .

So, \dfrac{-2.6}{\sigma}=-1.1263

\sigma= \dfrac{-2.6}{-1.1263}\approx2.308

Hence, the required standard deviation = 2.308 .
