Answer:

Cornelius Vanderbilt and the $1 million endowment he gave to Vanderbilt University.

Explanation:

"Baron Thief" was how the great American businessmen were jokingly called by the population in the nineteenth century. This name was not given because these businessmen were risky, but because they were enriched by dishonest means at the expense of abuse and compromise with the government.

An example of a robber baron who used his fortune in a "philanthropic" manner was Cornelius Vanderbilt and his $ 1 million donation to Vanderbilt University. Note that "philanthropy" was done ironically, underscoring the dishonest character of the robber barons.

Which of the following factors to limit population size is directly influenced by lack of food resources?
aivan3 [116]
<span>a. famine</span><span>

Industrialisation affected the poor in a way that they, as manual labors, were replaced by machinery in order to do the tasks or jobs that were usually done manually. During industrialisation, agricultural society was replaced to a manufacturing one. Because of this, there was a lower demand for workers as many lost their jobs because of machinations. Due to the higher demand for jobs by these people, many of the poor people accepted jobs with low wages to compete for those others who are also in need of jobs.  </span>

What do you think is the shape of the distribution of the age at which a child takes its first steps
Nuetrik [128]

Answer: Symmetric

Explanation:

The majority of children start walking at one and a half years so when the distribution is plotted on a histogram, it will be symmetric and unimodal. This means that it will have a single peak that is approximately 18 months.

This kind of distribution is a normal distribution and will have a shape similar to the one in the above diagram. This contrasts another type of distribution, the uniform distribution, when any value is possible, such as plotting the value of a card drawn from a complete deck.
