Answer:

Explained below

Explanation:

County is a political subdivision that assists the functioning of the government in a State. The geographic region withing a State enjoys certain governmental authority.  

There were Thirteen Colonies in United States who were the earliest settlers. Counties formed the local government in those Colonies to provide governance at microcosmic level. The first Counties were created in the Virginia state to provide assistance to Jamestown. It aims to ease the administrative workload.

Post Independence in 1776, the idea of local governments were not introduced. It was under State to determine how they will distribute the powers and its executors which then took the shape of a County in United States. Local government began to take active part in the governance, they began to provide services that were exclusive to a County as well as unincorporated areas.

At present there are 48 Counties in United Sates. Louisiana and Alaska denotes them as Parishes and Boroughs, which are equivalent to a County.

Each county has subdivisions that includes municipalities, unincorporated areas and townships. Power varies from one county to other depending upon the demographic features and duties assigned to it.

Read the passage, then answer the question asked.
laiz [17]

The line from this passage that supports the idea that the Greeks believed that gods were responsible for the weather is: A) “At dawn, Circe sent a favorable wind to take them on their way.”

In this excerpt from the passage, we find that the Greeks believed in the ability of Circe who was one of the Greek gods to control their weather.

The belief as illustrated in these words is that Circe could send a favorable wind that will guide the sailors in their activities.

So, sentence A is correct about the Greek's belief in the abilities of the gods to control the wind.

Is the size of the tip a restaurant server receives determined by behavior
Ludmilka [50]
The experimental units are what you apply the treatments to. In this experiment it would be the subjects or the customers in this situation since they will be treatment (either standing at their regular height or squatting to meet the eye level which could affect the amount of tip they give). An example of randomization can be numbering each table in the restaurant and picking them out of a hat and going to that table that you randomly chose and imposing the treatment on the customers there. Because tips depend on the income of the customers and how much they are willing to give for their meal. If not even income some people are willing to give despite how much money they make so their tips may higher than the wealthy crowd. Other factors the experimenters may not be able to control is the mood of the customers as well isn't it more likely if someone is enjoying their time to give more to the server despite the service the waiter.
