Causes of the expulsion of acadians

1 answer:

5 0

Answer: Once the Acadians refused to sign an oath of allegiance to Britain, which would make them loyal to the crown, the British Lieutenant Governor, Charles Lawrence, as well as the Nova Scotia Council on July 28, 1755 made the decision to deport the Acadians. The Expulsion (1755–1764) occurred during the French and Indian War (the North American theatre of the Seven Years' War) and was part of the British military campaign against New France. The British first deported Acadians to the Thirteen Colonies, and after 1758 transported additional Acadians to France. When the French and Indian War began in 1754, the British government, doubting the neutrality of the Acadians, demanded that they take an oath of allegiance to the Crown. ... British Governor Charles Lawrence decided to deport the Acadians from Nova Scotia without giving his colleagues any notice. They migrated to Louisiana because they had better fishing grounds, its territory controlled the gulf of St. Lawrence, and shipping routes and British colonies along the Atlantic coast.

You have measured the systolic blood pressure of a random sample of 25 employees of a company located near you. A 95% confidence

Alla [95]

Answer:

$122 \leq \mu \leq 138$

The 95% confidence interval would be given by (122;138)

And the correct interpretation for this case is:

c. If the procedure were repeated many times, 95% of the resulting confidence intervals would contain the population mean systolic blood pressure.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % where by a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

In order to calculate the critical value $t_{\alpha/2}$ we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

$df=n-1=25-1=24$

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of $\alpha=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.025,24)".And we see that $t_{\alpha/2}=2.06$

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1), for this case we got:

$122 \leq \mu \leq 138$

The 95% confidence interval would be given by (122;138)

And the correct interpretation for this case is:

c. If the procedure were repeated many times, 95% of the resulting confidence intervals would contain the population mean systolic blood pressure.

Solve inequalities.

grigory [225]

Answer:

10. 7n - 1 < -8

Isolate the variable, n. Do the opposite of PEMDAS. Treat the < as equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. First, add 1 to both sides:

7n - 1 (+1) < - 8 (+1)

7n < - 8 + 1

7n < - 7

Isolate the variable, n. Divide 7 from both sides:

(7n)/7 < (-7)/7

n < -7/7

n < -1

n < -1 is your answer.

11. 3 > -7v + 4v

Combine like terms, then isolate the variable, v. First, add -7v and 4v together.

3 > (-7v + 4v)

3 > (4v - 7v)

3 > (-3v)

Isolate the variable, v. Divide -3 from both sides. Note that since you are dividing a negative number, you must flip the sign:

(3)/-3 > (-3v)/-3

3/-3 > v

-1 < v

v > -1 is your answer.

Help me please it’s due

Temka [501]

Answer:

13.82 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the circumference of a circle, you multiply the diameter by pi ( $\pi$ ):

$(4.4)(\pi )=13.82301$

Rounded to the nearest tenth, 13.82301 is 13.82. Therefore, 13.82 is the answer.

I hope this helps!

8.46 If 100 is decreased by a% and the result is decreased by b%, then what is the total percent decrease (in terms of a and b)?

Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

The total percent decrease is $a+b-\frac{a b}{100}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given with a word problem
We are asked to find the total percentage decrease
We can do this in two steps

Step 1: Finding the two percentage decrease

Step 2: Finding their difference

Step 1 of 2

Let the decrease by a% be 100-a

Then b% decrease is

$\begin{aligned}\frac{b}{100} \times(100-a) &=\frac{100 b-a b}{100} \\\frac{100 b}{100}-\frac{a b}{100} &=b-\frac{a b}{100}\end{aligned}$

Step 2 of 2

The percentage difference between the two percentages is,

$\begin{aligned}&(100-a)-\left(b-\frac{a b}{100}\right)=100-a-b+\frac{a b}{100} \\&100-a-b+\frac{a b}{100}=100-\left(a+b-\frac{a b}{100}\right)\end{aligned}$

Since 100 is the total percent $a+b-\frac{a b}{100}$ is the percentage decrease.
