Answer:

a. press the button and "shoot" the black young men, regardless of what they were holding.

Explanation:

This research is a racial profiling study.  After the shooting of Amadou Diallo in 1999 and subsequent cases of shooting of innocent black males by the police force, several studies were carried out to investigate racial profiling. In the study in the question above, the participants were more likely to press and shoot the young black men regardless of what they were holding. This is an example of racial profiling.

Explain how a compromise was reached relating to the representation of people and the representation of states in Congress.
likoan [24]

During 1787 different delegates of the government joined forces at the Independence Hall, to reach to a historical agreement. Named after Connecticut delegates Roger Sherman and Oliver Ellsworth, the Connecticut Compromise stated that the United States was going to have a dual system of representation in the Congress.

This is to say that in the Senate, all the states were going to have the same number of representatives. Meanwhile in the House of Representatives each state would have a different amount of members, depending on the size of its own population.

The equal pay act focuses on three compensable factors-know-how, problem solving, and accountability.
Thepotemich [5.8K]
The statement above is false. The Equal Pay Act accentuates four compensable elements—aptitudes, effort,responsibility, and working conditions. The Equal Pay Act 1970 is an Act of the United Kingdom Parliament which disallows any less good treatment amongst men and ladies as far as pay and states of work. The Act has now been for the most part superseded by Part 5, section 3, of the Equality Act 2010.
