History

Answer:

The United States was reluctant to annex Texas because it did not want to fight a war with Mexico.

Explanation:

In 1836 the Republic of Texas was created, independent of Mexico. In August of 1837, Memucan Hunt Jr., ambassador of Texas in the United States, presented a proposal of annexation to Van Buren's administration. Believing that the annexation would lead to a war with Mexico, the US administration rejected the Texan proposal.

Finally, in 1845, James Polk became president and annexed Texas to the United States. This situation led to the Mexican-American War, as Van Buren had predicted.

How did the government and Japanese society react when Japan was forced to accept unequal treaties?
Lina20 [59]

The correct answer is: The samurai and daimyo restored the emperor to power and worked to reform Japan.

Indeed, Japan had remained fiercely isolated from the rest of the world for centuries. Japan especially mistrusted Western powers sine they had better technology and were extremely aggressive and powerful. In 1853, American Commodore Matthew C. Perry, arrived with four US military, steam-powered ships which were equipped with very modern and destructive guns. The Japanese had no means to oppose him in any manner and yielded to his demands, that Japan sign an official treaty if trade and commerce with the United States. This treaty, the Convention of Kanagawa angered many of the highest-ranking samurais for whom it was seen as a capitulation. They decided that Japan was way behind Western powers and that unless they imposed radical societal, economic reforms, they would be dominated by the West. They managed to remove Tokugawa Yoshinobu, the last Shogun of Japan and restored the Emperor.

Traditionalist samurais were incensed by this action and a civil war ensued, which reformist samurais were able to win with the help of Western technology and military advisors. Most power was transferred to the Emperor and Japan started massively importing technology and methods of social organization from many different countries in the west.

Which regression model best fits the data set? (2;13); (4;8); (5;7.5); (8;12)
Levart [38]

The regression model that best fit the data set is : Y=10.35-0.0467X

Explanation:

The equation of a regression line is given by;

Y=a+bX where b is the slope of the line a is the y-intercept , Y is the dependent variable and X is the independent variable

The slope b is given by;

b = n(∑xy)-(∑x)(∑y) / n(∑x² )-(∑x)²

a=(∑y)(∑x²)-(∑x)(∑xy) /n(∑x²)-(∑x)²

n is the sample size = 4

Form a table as;

x            y               xy             x²              y²

2            13              26            4              169

4             8               32            16            64

5             7.5            37.5          25         56.25

8              12              96           64           144

<u>19             40.5          191.5        109         433.25--------sum</u>

<u></u>

a=(∑y)(∑x²)-(∑x)(∑xy) /n(∑x²)-(∑x)²

a=(40.5)(109) - (19)(191.5) / 4(109) - (19)²

a=(4414.5 - 3638.5) / (436-361)

a=776/75

a=10.35

b = n(∑xy)-(∑x)(∑y) / n(∑x² )-(∑x)²

b=4(191.5)-(19)(40.5) / 4 (109)-19²

b=766-769.5 /436-361

b=-3.5/75

b= - 0.04667

The model will be represented by the equation;

Y=10.35 -0.0466X
