Answer:

  • <u><em>The standard deviation of the distribution is 1.5ºF.</em></u>

Explanation:

The known 68-95-99.7 rule, the empirical rule, states that, in a normal distribution 68% of the data are within one standard deviation from the mean, 95% of the data are within two standard deviations from the mean, and 99.7% are within three standard deviations:

  • 68% ⇒ mean ± 1 standard deviation
  • 95% ⇒ mean ± 2 standard deviations
  • 99.7% ⇒ mean ± 3 standard deviation.

Hence, for the<em> approximately normal distribution of the daily high temperatures</em>,<em> with mean 86º</em>, and a range of <em>83ºF to 89ºF</em> for <em>95% of the data,</em> you can write:

  • 86ºF ± 2 SD ⇒ 86ºF - 2 SD = 83ºF, and

  • 86ºF ± 2 SD ⇒  86ºF + 2SD = 89 ºF

Both equations will lead to the same result:

  • 86ºF - 2 SD  = 83ºF ⇒ 2 SD = 86ºF - 83ºF = 3ºF

         SD = 3ºF / 2 = 1.5ºF

Also:

  • 86ºF + 2SD = 89ºF ⇒ 2 SD = 89ºF - 86ºF = 3ºF

         SD = 3ºF / 2 = 1.5ºF

Therefore, the standard deviation of the distribution is 1.5ºF.

President Franklin Roosevelt had issues with the Supreme Court when it found some of his programs unconstitutional. In an attemp
Lunna [17]

Answer:  the first election returns reached his family estate in Hyde Park, New York, on a November night in 1936, Franklin Delano Roosevelt leaned back in his wheelchair, his signature cigarette holder at a cocky angle, blew a smoke ring and cried “Wow!” His huge margin in New Haven signaled that he was being swept into a second term in the White House with the largest popular vote in history at the time and the best showing in the electoral college since James Monroe ran unopposed in 1820.

The outpouring of millions of ballots for the Democratic ticket reflected the enormous admiration for what FDR had achieved in less than four years. He had been inaugurated in March 1933 during perilous times—one-third of the workforce jobless, industry all but paralyzed, farmers desperate, most of the banks shut down—and in his first 100 days he had put through a series of measures that lifted the nation’s spirits. In 1933 workers and businessmen marched in spectacular parades to demonstrate their support for the National Recovery Administration (NRA), Roosevelt’s agency for industrial mobilization, symbolized by its emblem, the blue eagle. Farmers were grateful for government subsidies dispensed by the newly created Agricultural Adjustment Administration

WHat does his (hamiltons) response tell you about the Framers' intentions regarding the institutional design of the judiciary?
lakkis [162]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Unfortunately, you forgot to include the text or the excerpt for reference.

There are also no options attached.

What response? From who? What is the reference?

However, trying to help, we can comment on the following general terms.

What does his response tell you about the Framers' intentions regarding the institutional design of the judiciary?

You are probably referring to Federalists Alexander Hamilton's opinion about the judiciary.

If that is the case, then we can say that Alexander Hamilton wrote the Federalists Paper n.- 78, under a pseudonym, and he referred to the importance of the judiciary. He considered that the judiciary was an important institution to help and protect the people from bad or abusive legislation.

Hamilton also thought that the judiciary was important to enforce the legislation included in the US Constitution. Hamilton thought that the judiciary had the obligation to interpret the legislation to correctly apply it, and also should be the institution to keep an eye on Congress in order to limit it to exceed its powers.
