5. Maura writes an expression equivalent to 8a - (-3 – 5a) – 2a.
Her work is shown below.
8a - (-3 - 5a) - 2a
Step 1: 8a+ 3 - 5a – 2a
Step 2: (8a – 5a – 2a) + 3
Step 3: (3a - 2a) + 3
Step 4: a +3
In what step does Maura make a mistake? Describe her error and find the correct
equivalent expression.
Your answer

(co 3) the times that customers spend in a book store are normally distributed with a mean of 39.5 minutes and a standard deviation of 9.4 minutes. a random sample of 25 customers has a mean of 36.1 minutes or less. would this outcome be considered unusual, so that the store should reconsider its displays? no, the probability of this outcome at 0.035, would be considered usual, so there is no problem yes, the probability of this outcome at 0.035, would be considered unusual, so the display should be redone no the probability of this outcome at 0.359 would be considered usual, so there is no problem yes, the probability of this outcome at 0.965 would be considered unusual, so the display should be redone
