Answer:

approximately 2 weeks

Explanation:

Assuming normal distribution, we have

mean m = 30.8

standard deviation s = 2.6

The standard random variable is given by Z = (x - 30.8)/2.6

where x denotes the number of cases lost

we are to evaluate probability of losing more than 36 i.e P(x > 36)

This will be P(Z > (36 - 30.8)/2.6) = P(Z > 2)

using the z-score table, we have this probability to be 0.0228

so the number of weeks is given by 52*0.228 = 1.19

which is approximately 2

Describe the Kansas-Nebraska act as successful or unsuccessful? Explain why.
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

In my opinion, it was unsuccessful.

Explanation:

The Kansas-Nebraska Act was an 1854 bill that mandated “popular sovereignty”–allowing settlers of a territory to decide whether slavery would be allowed within a new state's borders. On paper, this seemed like a good idea but instead, it lead to even more fighting between the North and South. Thousands of people, from the North and South, flooded each state in order to try and sway the vote in their favor. It was especially bad in Kansas and caused what we now call "Bleeding Kansas" which led to hundreds of American deaths. In the end, it just pushed the Union closer to war.
