<p>To reslove Pacific Northwest Indians, it was hunting and fishing</p>

<p>"The Inuit, or Eskimo, prepared and buried stocks of dried meat and fish. Pacific Northwest tribes crafted seafaring dugouts 40-50 feet long for fishing. Farmers in the Eastern Woodlands tended fields of maize with hoes and digging sticks, while their neighbors in the Southeast grew tobacco as well as food crops. On the Plains, some tribes engaged in agriculture but also planned buffalo hunts in which herds were efficiently driven over bluffs. Dwellers of the Southwest deserts hunted small animals and gathered acorns to grind into a flour with which they baked wafer-thin bread on top of heated stones. Some groups on the region's mesas developed irrigation techniques, and filled storehouses with grain as protection against the area's frequent droughts."</p>

<p>one more.... the one about the survey predicting the wrong president.... was the answer too small percentage questioned? that question was so easy it was hard...</p>

<p>ya i put too small percentage</p>

<p>railroad= chicago...western expansion, railroad, hello??</p>

<p>i said they had a biased way of polling</p>

<p>i said small percentage....5% isnt enough, within the question it was the only possible solution</p>

<p>No. It was a biased sample, becuase it only used people with cars, as the question said it was based off of automobile records. Thus, the bulk of F.D.R.s supporters, the farmers and the urban poor were discounted. As such, the poll forcast Lagdon as the winner because it did not account for most of Roosevelts supporters.</p>

<p>how aobut the question about the monroe doctrine? what did everyone put?</p>

<p>What was the question specifically?</p>

<p>hey everyone.. about 30 more questions and we will have acheived being able to reproduce every question on the exam and hence we will know our scores super early!!</p>

<p>Unfortunately yes. I said M Bay, but it was St. Augistine</p>

<p>how is 5% a massive sample?</p>

<p>If anymore support is require, Wikipeida to the rescue.</p>

<p>"The Literary Digest, which had correctly predicted the winner of the last 5 elections, announced in its October 31 issue that Landon would be the winner with 370 electorial votes. The cause of this mistake is believed to be due to improper sampling: more Republicans subscribed to the Literary Digest than Democrats."</p>

<p>What was the Thomas Paine question again?</p>
