= (1 - 0.75)(1 - 0.88)
= 0.03

= 0.22</span><span />

How do the positions of the political parties on the issues reflect the social and economic groups represented
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

The  different positions of the political party must face each trial they are planning on solving throughout their presidency. The parties both represent different different therefore having a different call on each situation obviously but they represent each party based on the point of view they see each problem in and both parties basically disagree on most things one party might have one point of view on handling systematic racism another can have a different point of view, one position can have a certain opinion about the healthcare system that the other disagrees with, one position can have a certain opinion about Underpaid teachers and Low wage employees and the other can have another. What I am saying here is that both parties have different opinion that will represent their party and most of the time both of the parties/ positions will be in disagreement.

Yasser is colorblind and is unable to see colors the same way as his wife. Describe which theory of color vision best explains t
almond37 [142]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

The theory of color vision best that best explains this deficiency is called TRICHROMATIC COLOR THEORY. It was originally proposed by Thomas Young and later refined by Hermann von Helmholtz.

Here, Yasser’s color-blindness is associated with deficiencies in various cones. The most probable are red and green cones because of their high chance in men than women.

The theory of color vision best explains why he might see an afterimage is known as OPPONENT - PROCESS THEORY. It was originally proposed by Ewald Hering.

This is based on the principle that supposing Yasser, stared at a red image for a while and then stared at a blank white page, he would likely see an imprint of the image, but in green.

Which statement best describes the arrival of P-waves and S-waves recorded at a station located closer to the epicenter of this
masha68 [24]

Answer:

1. The time difference between the arrival of the first P-Wave and S-Wave would be less than 4 minutes.

Explanation:

S waves are slower than P waves, even if emitted at the same time. In this case, we can say that if a station is located close to the earthquake epicenter, the station would receive these waves quickly. The P wave would be received first, since it has a higher speed, the S wave would arrive soon. As you did not provide the times when each wave was emitted, we cannot accurately state the time when each wave would be perceived by the station. However, as the station is close to the earthquake, we can say that the time difference between P and S waves would be seconds, that is, less than 4 minutes.
