Answer:

To explain his unwillingness to postpone his efforts.

Explanation:

On April 16, 1963, Martin Luther King wrote an open letter "Letter From Birmingham Jail" to rant out but more importantly to explain his purpose. He had been jailed, and the people of Birmingham had criticized him for his actions of going against the government.

King was jailed for his opposition and call for people to oppose unjust laws like that of racism. In his letter, a response for the criticism from the Birmingham clergymen, he said that<em> "Frankly, I have yet to engage in a direct action campaign that was "well timed" in the view of those who have not suffered unduly from the disease of segregation"</em>. He included this line to explain his unwillingness to postpone his efforts. For in postponing it, he will only be extending the suffering of his fellow black men, and also the fight against racism. To delay justice is to be cowardly and unjust for the people suffering. So, he is implying that instead of asking him to delay, they (the clergymen) should be joining him in his fight for equality.

For an exam with a mean of M = 74 and a standard deviation of s = 8, Mary has a score of X = 80, Bob’s score corresponds to z =
tamaranim1 [39]

Given Information:

Mean = μ = 74

Standard deviation = σ = 8

Mary's score = x = 80

Bob’s score = z = +1.50

Sue’s score = above the mean by 10 points

Required Information:

If the students are placed in order from smallest score to largest score, what is the correct order?

Answer:

Mary = 80, Sue = 84, Bob = 86

Explanation:

Bob's score:

z = (x - μ)/σ

x - μ = zσ

x = zσ + μ

x = 1.50*8 + 74

x = 12 + 74

x = 86

Sue's score:

x = u + 10

x = 74 + 10

x = 84

Mary's score:

x = 80

From the smallest score to largest score

Mary = 80, Sue = 84, Bob = 86

Why was a government with three branches considered to be a compromise
goldfiish [28.3K]
By having three separate, independent branches of government (the executive, legislative and judicial) a society has a "balance of power" which means that no one branch can have too much power and become tyrannical. Therefore each of the three branches is compromising.
