President Kennedy’s response to the construction of the Berlin Wall

The correct answer is B. President Kennedy's response to the construction of the Berlin Wall led the Soviet Union to believe that Kennedy would back down if confronted.

The Western reaction to the construction of the wall was slow: 20 hours passed until the appearance of military forces on the border; 40 hours until they communicated with the Soviet commander of Berlin; 72 hours until they protested at Moscow's diplomacy. There were more and more rumors that the Soviets had assured the Western allies that they would not threaten their rights. The experience of the blockade had shown the allies that West Berlin was threatened, so the construction of the wall was a material confirmation of the status quo.

Kennedy claimed that Berlin was a "free state" and sent a reinforcement brigade of 1500 men to West Berlin. The leader of the GDR Walter Ulbricht even determined the control on the part of the Border and Popular Police on the allied officers and police, which produced a strong rejection, in particular on the part of the Americans.

N a survey of twelve Harbor Business School graduates, the mean starting salary was $93,000, with a standard deviation of $17,00

scZoUnD [109]

Answer: The confidence interval would be (82198.71, 103801.28).

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Mean = $93,000

Standard deviation = $17,000

n = 12 < 30

So, we will use 't-test' to find the 95% confidence interval,

Here , $\alpha =1-0.095=0.05$

and $n-1=12-1=11$

So, according to t table, we get that

$t_{n-1,\frac{\alpha }{2}}=2.200985$

So, interval would be

$\bar{x}\pm t_{n-1,\frac{\alpha {2}}\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\=93000\pm 2.200985\times \dfrac{17000}{\sqrt{12}}\\\\=93000\pm 10801.2839\\\\=(93000-10801.2839,93000+10801.2839)\\\\=(82198.71,103801.28)$

Hence, the confidence interval would be (82198.71, 103801.28).

When Dion's father died, he wanted to sensitively explain this death to his 7-year-old son, who was close to his grandfather. Ac

steposvetlana [31]

Answer: listen with full attention to the child

Explanation:

Being 7-years-old, Dion's son is probably going through his first understanding of death and needs both for his family to talk about it and for himself to be able to talk and make questions about it.

He may develop an impulsive behavior because his brain is not yet fully mature to deal with the death of a loved one. And being a child means that his perspective of death is quite different from the one adults have. This means that he needs to see adults talk about it to avoid any extra anxiety about death.
