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.

dangina [55]

Answer:

Mean of sampling distribution=3.5

Standard error of sampling distribution=0.219

Explanation:

We know that

The average of catching fish per fishing trip=μ=3.5

and

The standard deviation of catching fish per fishing trip= σ=1.2.

We have to find the mean and standard error of sampling distribution of 30 fishing trips i.e. μxbar=? and σxbar=?

Mean of sampling distribution=μxbar=μ=3.5

Standard error of sampling distribution=σxbar=σ/√n

Standard error of sampling distribution=σxbar=1.2/√30

Standard error of sampling distribution=σxbar=1.2/5.4772

Standard error of sampling distribution=σxbar=0.219

Thus, the mean and standard error for a sampling distribution of 30 fishing trips are 3.5 and 0.219.

In psychoanalysis, preconscious  are the contemplation which are oblivious at the specific minute being referred to, yet which are not curbed and are along these lines accessible for review and effectively 'capable of becoming conscious'.
