1 Give an example of when the mean is a better measure of central tendency (location) than the median. 2  Interpret the standard deviation of a continuous variable.  Generate and interpret a box plot for a continuous variable.
In the War of 1812, the United States took on the greatest naval power in the world, Great Britain, in a conflict that would have an immense impact on the young countryâs future. Causes of the war included British attempts to restrict U.S. trade, the Royal Navyâs impressment of American seamen and Americaâs desire to expand its territory.
The only cause of the war was that the South was invaded and responded to Northern aggression. I respectfully disagree with those who claim that the War Between the States was fought over slavery or that the abolition of slavery in the Revolutionary Era or early Federal period would have prevented war.
