The problem states that 15% of the result are false positive, but it asks about for results that are not false positive, so we should focus on 85% or .85 to express it as a probability value. Then the problem ask about 8 random people taking the test, since it is not mentioned that the results of the test are connected in some way we can assume that they are independent. In that case we can solve it by .85^8, which is .27. The result is 27% of probability

Select all choices that apply. 9. (1 pt) mark the statement if it is accurate about queen mary.
yuradex [85]

Answer:

b. She married King Philip II of Spain even though the people of England were against the marriage.

c. She was Henry VIII's first daughter.

d. She was the first queen to rule England.

Explanation:

Queen Mary I was the first Queen of England, ruling from 1553 to 1558. She was the only daughter/child of King Henry VIII and married Philip II of Spain. Although her union with Philip was a happy affair for her, it was not the same for Philip. Being almost a decade younger than her, Philip married her only for political reasons.

The title "Bloody Mary" was due to her persistent and numerous persecution of the Protestant believers. As a staunch believer of the Catholic faith, she refused any of the Protestant believers to have freedom.

Thus the facts about Mary that are true are options b,c and d whereas the options a and e are wrong.

A white college student goes door to door in a predominantly white neighborhood gathering signatures for a ballot initiative wit
Delicious77 [7]

A White college student goes door to door in a predominantly White neighborhood gathering signatures for a ballot initiative without incident. The next day, an African-American city councilwoman canvasses for votes in the same neighborhood, and three residents call the police to report having seen a suspicious-looking woman. In this example, the college student is benefiting from White privilege.

<h3>What is Privilege ?</h3>

Privilege exists when one group has something has value that is absent in others life, simply because they don't belong to a certain group. Their was a long period when white man privileged more than black man.

Example: A white male with a criminal record, is 10% more likely to get a job over a man of black with clean record.

Somehow, privileges creates discrimination like, Barack Obama is routinely identified as a 'black President' and not just ‘the President'. And, a white politician says 'i have the privilege of having a positive relationship with the police' generally.

<h3>What is White privilege?</h3>

White privilege, or white skin privilege, is the societal privilege that benefits white people over non-white people in some societies, particularly if they are otherwise under the same social, political, or economic circumstances. With roots in European colonialism and imperialism, and the Atlantic slave trade, white privilege has developed in circumstances that have broadly sought to protect white racial privileges, various national citizenships, and other rights or special benefits.
