Answer:

"Poll taxes were enacted in many southern states to keep Blacks from voting. At the time the amendment was ratified, Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia still had poll taxes. In fact, Mississippi was the only state to reject the amendment.

The 24th Amendment also gave Congress power to enforce it. A year and a half later on August 6, 1965, the Voting Rights Act was enacted and banned poll taxes in all U.S. elections."

Explanation:

"The amendment forbids Congress and states from requiring poll taxes in order to vote in federal elections.

Amendments to the Constitution are proposed by both houses in Congress and require two-thirds of the states to ratify, or approve, them. South Dakota ratified the amendment on January 23, 1964, which made the amendment go into effect."

cupoosta [38]

The correct answer is D) avoid negative terms.

A questionnaire item, distributed to a random sample of adults, reading “Are you not in support of nationalized health care”, with a yes or no possible response, would violate the concept of avoiding negative terms.

When making a survey there are different types of questions that can invite the respondent to answer to get the information needed. There are direct questions, open-ended questions, or double-barred questions. The important thing to get appropriate results is not to bias the question because it encourages people to respond to the question in a particular way. In the case of yes or no questions, it would violate the concept of avoiding negative terms.

The other options of the question were A) avoid double-barreled questions, B) avoid leading the respondent, C) avoid meaningful questions and E) respondents should be competent to answer.

A Tibetan monk leaves the monastery at 7:00 A.M. and takes his usual path to the top of the mountain, arriving at 7:00 P.M. The

Musya8 [376]

Answer: There is a point the monk passes same time on both days.and this is explained by the Intermediate value theorem.

Explanation: The intermediate value theorem states that If f is a real-valued continuous function on the interval [a, b], and u is a number between f(a) and f(b), then there is a c ∈ [a, b] such that f(c) = u

Let us assume that f1(t) represents the distance that the monk has traveled away from the monastery on the first day where t represents any time between 7 a.m and 7 p.m.

Then assume that f2(t) represents the distance that the monk has traveled from the monastery on day 2 and assume that the distance between the top of the mountain and the monastery is d.

The monk begins to walk at 7 a.m. So, f1(7a.m)=0 and at 7 p.m he reaches the monastery f1(7p.m)=d

Similarly, f2(7a.m)=d and f2(7p.m)=0

The path taken by the monk is a continuous function. Then consider the function g(t)=f1(t)−f2(t).

Given that both the functions are continuous, so g(7p.m)=d.

Thus, by the Intermediate Value Theorem, there must exist a time

c between 7 a.m and 7 p.m such that g(c)=0.

So g(c)=0

f1(c)−f2(c)=0

f1(c)=f2(c)

So c is the point in time in which the monk is at the same distance from the monastery towards the top of the mountain as he is from the top of the mountain towards the monastery.
