History
1 answer:
dezoksy [38]3 years ago
6 0
European powers were running out of places to colonize in africa, while trade in East Asia was becoming more and more profitable, but the cost in time and money of traveling all the way around africa and through the india ocean (or the long trek down the silk road) was hampering European profits off of trading. So the Spanish sent Columbus to find a shorter root to Asia. Columbus didn't set out looking for America, it was just a happy accident.

How can archeologists determine the age of a historical object?
Fofino [41]

Answer: Until this century, relative dating was the only technique for identifying the age of a truly ancient object. By examining the object's relation to layers of deposits in the area, and by comparing the object to others found at the site, archaeologists can estimate when the object arrived at the site. Hope this helps!

stellarik [79]

The correct answer is A) the President's attempts to restrict conservative influence.

<em>The social condition that was the main factor prompting President Eisenhower's speech was the President's attempts to restrict conservative influence.</em>

In that famous speech, United States President said people should not be afraid to learn and read books, as long the information contained in the books did not affect the decency of the American values. He said that the only form of censorship should be the one that censors information that attacks the values of America. In that speech, President Eisenhower expressed "how will we defeat Communism unless we know what it is, what it teaches, and why does it have such an appeal for men, why so many people are swearing allegiance to it."

The other options of the question were b) the churches attempt to promote religious tolerance, c) MLK attempts to increase literacy rates, and d) Senator McCarthy's attempts to limit free speech.

Find the median of the following data:<br> 10,16, 15, 14, 8, 21, 10, 5, 19, 18,4,5, 16, 12, 10,9
Anarel [89]

Answer:

11

Explanation:

First step: Order from least to greatest.

4,5,5,8,9,10,10,10,12,14,15,16,16,18,19,21

Second: If the we had an odd amount of data, the median would just be the middle number.  Since we have even amount of data, the median will be average of the 2 middles.

You have 16 data members here. The middle is going to be at the 16/2 th term and the [(16/2)+1 th] term. So in other words we need to average the 8th and 9th term here to find the median. So let's count to the 8th and then then the 9th to figure out what numbers these actually are.

8th term=10 and 9th term= 12 so the average of these are (10+12)/2=22/2=11.

The median is 11.
