Why was the union general mcclellan not effective as military commander?
General McClellan was not effective as a military commander for several reasons. Firstly, he was known for his overly cautious approach, frequently overestimating enemy troop strength and being overly concerned about casualties. This led to unnecessary delays and missed opportunities. Additionally, he struggled with making decisive decisions and failed to fully utilize the resources and manpower at his disposal. Lastly, his strained relationship with President Lincoln and inability to effectively coordinate with other Union generals further hindered his effectiveness.

Describe at least two strategies for estimating fraction sums .Give an example for each strategy .Explain how each strategy is useful?
the answer is overestimating and underestimating. An example is you could overestimate the money needed when going to the food store to shop for s party. An example for underestimating would be you could underestimate the number of guest that will attend the party. So you won't have a lot of left over food. If 100 people are invited most likely several people will not show up. I think over estimating is more useful, you never want to be caught without enough of anything. Extra is always best.

Give an example of how standard deviation can be useful Also why is underestimating the standard deviation as in the case with the Range Rule Thumb a better method than overestimating?
to calculate the standard deviation you must put each number in order from the least to the gr east then you must find your mean after you find your mean you must subtract your mean from each of the data set numbers once you finishsubtracting the data set numbers you add them up and divide by the amount of numbers there are and you have found the standard deviation.
