explain why Shirley Chisholm was a political pioneer. __________________________________________________________________________

irga5000 [103]

Answer: She had already surprised everyone by becoming the first black woman in Congress after an upset victory in 1968. Then Shirley Chisholm signed up for work as a census taker in Brooklyn, where she represented a range of struggling neighborhoods.

It was a thankless task; many of the “enumerators” for the 1970 census quit because so many poor black and Hispanic residents refused to answer questions or even open the door.

Their distrust in government ran deep, The Times reported, with some fearing that giving up their personal information would lead to genocide.

Ms. Chisholm, a daughter of immigrants from Barbados who studied American history with the zeal of a woman determined to shape it, understood such sentiments. She also embodied what was needed to bring those New Yorkers into the fold. It wasn’t pontificating. It wasn’t condescending, or scolding; it required the same charm and resolve she showed first as an educator, then as a politician.

“I do not see myself as a lawmaker, an innovator in the field of legislation,” she wrote in her 1970 autobiography, “Unbought and Unbossed.” “America has the laws and the material resources it takes to insure justice for all its people. What it lacks is the heart, the humanity, the Christian love that it would take.”

Three potential employees took an aptitude test. Each person took a different version of the test. The scores are reported below

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

Tera had the higher z-score, so she should be offered the job.

Step-by-step explanation:

Z- score:

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem:

Whoever has the higher z-score should get the job.

Brittany:

Scored 88.3, mean 63.1, standard deviation 14. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{88.3 - 63.1}{14}$

$Z = 1.8$

Alissa:

Scored 236.5, mean 219, standard deviation 25. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{236.5 - 219}{25}$

$Z = 0.7$

Tera:

Scored 7.75, mean 6.66, standard deviation 0.5. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{7.75 - 6.66}{0.5}$

$Z = 2.18$

Tera had the higher z-score, so she should be offered the job.

MR THOMAS TOOK HER FAMILY AND FRIEND TO THE MOVIES THERE WERE 16 PEOPLE . CHILDREN TICKERS COST $6 AND ADULTS TICKETS COST 9 SHE

il63 [147K]

Answer:

a = 374

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Cost of children ticket = $6

Cost of adult ticket = $9

Total amount spent = $1219

Total number of people = 16

Let :

Children = c

Adult = a

a + c = 16 - - 1

6c + 9a = 1219 - - - 2

From 1

c = 16 - a

Using 2

6(16 - a) + 9a = 1219

96 - 6a + 9a = 1219

3a = 1123

a = 374.33

Adult = 374.33

The number should be a whole number, maybe there is a problem with the parameters given.
