Captain Dyess eventually made his way back to America where his story was published.

We join his story as he encounters his first atrocity of the March:

"The victim, an air force captain, was being searched by a three-star private. Standing by was a Jap commissioned officer, hand on sword hilt. These men were nothing like the toothy, bespectacled runts whose photographs are familiar to most newspaper readers. They were cruel of face, stalwart, and tall.

'The private a little squirt, was going through the captain's pockets. All at once he stopped and sucked in his breath with .a hissing sound. He had found some Jap yen.'

An hourly wage is normally distributed with a mean of $6.75 and a standard deviation of $0.55. What is the probability that an e

monitta

Answer:

Option A. 81.5%

Explanation:

Population mean, $\mu = 6.75$

Standard deviation, $\sigma = 0.55$

The question is to find $p(5.65 < \bar{x} < 7.30)$

The z value is given by the formula:

$z = \frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{\sigma}$

z - value corresponding to the mean, $\bar{x} = 5.65$ :

$z_1 = \frac{5.65 - 6.75}{0.55}\\z_1 =-2.0$

z - value corresponding to the mean, $\bar{x} = 7.30$ :

$z_1 = \frac{7.30 - 6.75}{0.55}\\z_1 =1.0$

$p(5.65\leq \bar{x} \leq 7.30) = p(-2.0 \leq z \leq 1.0)\\p(-2.0 \leq z \leq 1.0) = p(z\leq 1) - p(z\leq -2)\\ p(-2.0 \leq z \leq 1.0) = 0.84134 - 0.02275\\p(-2.0 \leq z \leq 1.0) = 0.81859 \\p(-2.0 \leq z \leq 1.0) = 0.82$

Probability that an employee’s hourly wage is between $5.65 and $7.30 = 81.5%

Did Hoover handle the Bonus Army march well? Use primary and secondary sources to explain why or why not.

Liula [17]

Hoover did not handle the Bonus Army well.

The Bonus Army was a group of 43 thousand protestors - WWI veterans and their families - who gathered in Washington DC to demand payment for their service certificates.

President Hoover did not attempt to negotiate with the protestors, first, he ordered to have them removed from government’s property and later he ordered to the Army to clear the marcher’s campsite.

To do so, infantry and cavalry was used and additionally, six tanks.

Public opinion on Hoover’s actions was strong, newspapers and newsreels - that were popular at the time - showed images of the violence perpetrated on soldiers and their families. This was considered one of the strongest factors that influenced his lost at elections to Roosevelt.
