The correct chest compression depth is about 1½ inches. The correct rate of compressions is 100 to 120 per minute.

According to current basic life support recommendations, a compression depth of one third to one half of the anteroposterior chest diameter should be used for newborn and toddler resuscitation. A study was done to determine the actual compression depths in newborns and kids. 36 newborns (1 year old) and 38 kids (aged 1 to 8 years) had their chest computed tomography scans analyzed. Chest computed tomography scan measurements of the anteroposterior diameter were taken from the anterior skin perpendicular to the skin on the posterior thorax, either at the interni pple line or the center of the lower half of the sternum.

The mean age was 3.6 months for the newborn group (25 boys and 11 girls). The average age of the 21 boys and 17 girls in the child-age group was 4.0 years. When current criteria were followed, compression depths ranged from 3.4 to 5.1 cm for infants and 4.4 to 6.6 cm for children. The compression depths at the interni pple line compared to the lower half of the sternum were same. These 2 were found beneath intrathoracic structures that suggested similar compression landmarks. In comparison to the suggested compression depths for adults (3.8-5.1 cm).

BigorU [14]
The best thing that he could do is to just be himself. He has to be true to himself all the time since he is somatic for agreeableness. But he can still develop these traits like being friendly, being kind and being modest to other people. He would just have to know the meaning of these things.

How did Egyptian workers build monumental pyramids with limited technology?
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Even though Egyptians didn't have any good technology at that time they would build pyramids by cutting and moving pieces of stones and making it into a pyramid shape. We still don't really know how they did their work but the stars were a guide for them to use as math and calculate where which of the pyramids corners would go.

(Hope this helps, I'm not so sure about the stars part but I saw it on a history channel a while ago. Good luck!)
