<p>I think I put down the one with land ownership being changed - that was one of the choices, right?</p>
<p>The vietnam was the gulf of tonkin resolution that involved the US more in vietnam</p>
<p>Ziggy, what were the answers for the the groups not supporting the election of 1936?</p>
<p>I know there was
Blacks
Industrialists
Laborers.. but I don't remember the others was farmers on it?</p>
<p>have been sifting through stuff...</p>
<p>answer was for sure not; blacks, or laborers.. anyone remember the other 2 answers.. I put industrialists since I figured it was close enough to modern day politics that republican party = big business, democrats = laborers.. however, I have a feeling that is wrong due to the new deal, which was what I was debating with. The reason I choose it was because none of the other answers conflicted with each other, therefore I thought it was between industrialists and laborers for a correct answer.</p>
<p>totoboyo, the answer to that WAS industrialists.</p>
<p>I siad southern democrats... That was one of the choices.</p>
<p>Can you request hand correction on sat II's? Because we couldn't use mechanicals at all.. which I guess is a new policy *cough why doesn't it apply to AP's * cough.. so my sheet looked horrible due to a bad eraser from a provided pencil.. it looked like some hooligan did cookies on it with a 72 Buick.</p>
<p>Its not the south because the south was a solid democrat south through the 60's with Kennedy.. The importance of 1936 was that FDR won northern states which were historically republican for the first time due to the campaigning of the second new deal.</p>
<p>what about the northern blacks?</p>
<p>Northern blacks started supporting the Democratic Party during the New Deal - a significant change from their voting pattern after the Civil War (Republicans).</p>
<p>This is SO SAD, I should have taken Literature...</p>
<p>I thought it was ridiculous how it had the same cartoon as the ap test. I loved the cartoons on the AP test, they were all so much easier than the ones my teacher gave us</p>

A sample is biased if some members of the population are more likely to be chosen in the sample than others. A biased sample will generally give you a misestimate of the quantity being estimated. For example, if your sample contains members with a higher or lower value of the quantity being estimated, the outcome will be higher or lower than the true value.</p>
<p>A famous case of what can go wrong when using a biased sample is found in the 1936 US presidential election polls. The Literary Digest held a poll that forecast that Alfred M. Landon would defeat Franklin Delano Roosevelt by 57% to 43%. George Gallup, using a much smaller sample (300,000 rather than 2,000,000), predicted Roosevelt would win, and he was right. What went wrong with the Literary Digest poll? They had used lists of telephone and automobile owners to select their sample. In those days, these were luxuries, so their sample consisted mainly of middle- and upper-class citizens. These voted in majority for Landon, but the lower classes voted for Roosevelt. Because their sample was biased towards wealthier citizens, their result was incorrect.

<p>Remember, this is "US History", not "Statistics Reasoning."</p>
<p>sooooo.... what was the correct response for the question..</p>
<p>since there obvioulsly wasn't that as a choice...</p>
<p>I rationalized it with the invasion of Ehtiopia by Italy since the aggression resparked FDR's idea of isolationism that was rampant in America. The best example of this was his campaign speech at Chautaqua where he was quoted by exclaiming, "I hate war" In my opinion this was the reason for the change in polls, since 1. Americans are more likely to vote for an incumbent in times of unrest globally, in addition to the fact that, the international turmoil allowed FDR to realign himself with the majority in the United States. </p>
<p>But.. if I remembered the answers.. Perhaps the most logical rationalization is the automobiles and phonebooks were the so called luxuries of the period, therefore it was not inclusive of the ethnic minorities and laborers who appeared en masse at the polls. Both could work imo.</p>
<p>I was just reminded of the Q about Jackson and what he represented - the common man and democractic values? Something like that...</p>
<p>What about the Berlin airlifts of 1948? Anybody know the answer to that one?</p>
<p>the airlift was in response to the German blockade of West Berlin. Americans were airlifting food and supplies to the sequestered city.</p>
<p>Dude this test was horrible -- much harder than AP.</p>
