Explanation:

The Fifth Amendment to the US Constitution was passed in 1971 as part of the Bill of Rights, aiming to regulate criminal processes. It is applicable to every public administration office (at the federal, state or local levels), enterprise, association or individual in the United States.

Among other provisions, it contains protections against several manners of self-incrimination, such as the right of defendants of not not serving as a witness in the criminal case in which they are accused of a crime. Therefore, defendants are able to refuse to participate if they believe that answers to the questions that arise during the procedure can incriminate them.

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Alexander Hamilton belonged to the Federalist Party, which supported the idea of a strong central government. He thought that the federal government should be able to keep a strong army and navy, to raise taxes, and to have good relations with Great Britain.

James Madison was on the opposite side. He was a member of the Democratic-Republican Party. This party favored a weak central government, and favored state and local power.

The biggest rift between Hamilton and Madison came when the issue of a federal bank came up in Congress. Hamilton wanted to create a Central Bank to take on the debts of the states, and to fund future programs and armies, Madison, as anti-federalist, naturally opposed this idea.

This rift was solved with the Compromise of 1790. The southerners, including James Madison, agreed to the creation of a national bank in exchange for having the new capital in southern territory (Washington D.C.).

Mashcka [7]

Out of 150 offsprings born to a gray, 38 offsprings are expected to be blue with short fins

<h3>How to determine the expected number of blue fish with short fins</h3>

To do this, we make use of the following representations

L represents long finned fish
l represents short finned fish
g represents the gray fish
b represents the blue fish

So, we have the following genotypes

Lg, Lb, lg, lb

In the above 4 genotypes, lb represent the blue fishes with short fins

So, the probability of selecting a blue fish with short fins is:

$p = \frac 14$

In 150 offsprings, we have:

n = 150

So, the expected value is:

$E(x) = np$

This gives

$E(x) = 150 * \frac 14$

Evaluate the product

$E(x) = 37.5$

Approximate

$E(x) = 38$

Hence, 38 offsprings are expected to be blue with short fins
