Did the Romans win Britain?

They didn't conquer all of Britain, rather they gradually took over the country in a very slow advance, landing coming across the channel from France, and then slowly advancing across the country over many years Incidentally, one of the Roman invasions was rather insane, with Caligula ordering his troops to attack the water of the channel with their weapons, and then collecting sea shells as "plunder from the ocean, due to the Capitol and the Palace" - it is unknown if this was because of Caligula's derangement or as a punishment of the troops due to mutinies


What was the churchs reaction to luthers protest?

The Church's reaction to Martin Luther's protests was one of strong condemnation and resistance. In 1521, Pope Leo X excommunicated Luther from the Catholic Church, and the Diet of Worms declared him an outlaw, ordering that his writings be banned. The Church viewed Luther's challenges to its authority and doctrines as a significant threat, leading to efforts to suppress his ideas and maintain control over religious practices. This conflict ultimately contributed to the Protestant Reformation, which led to the fragmentation of the Church.

Arranging the population through some ordering scheme and then selecting the sample by selecting every nth individual in the scheme?

This sampling method is known as systematic sampling. It involves arranging the entire population in a specific order and then selecting every nth individual from that ordered list to form the sample. This technique can be useful for ensuring that the sample is spread evenly across the population, but it assumes that the ordering does not introduce bias. Care must be taken in the initial arrangement to avoid patterns that could skew the results.
