Afriend claims that education (years of school) is normally distributed. you believe she’s wrong. a reasonable argument for your point of view is that: a. about 50% of individuals have greater than 12 years of schooling. b. the standard deviation for years of schooling is less than the mean c. education has several modes (for example, at 12 and 16 years). d. education outcomes are uniformly distributed (all numbers of years are equally likely). e. none of these are reasonable arguments.

In a speech before the american society of newspaper editors (april 16, 1953), president eisenhower stated: "every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed. this world in arms is not spending money alone. it is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. this is not a way of life at all in any true sense. under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron." do you agree or disagree?
