Crоss sectiоn 2 Rаdiоаctive Answer the question using the chаrt, the geologic cross section, and your previous answers: The Granite from the geologic cross section (previous page) was analyzed for its Uranium-235 and Lead-207 content. It was found to contain 25% Uranium-235 and 75% Lead-207. You know the age for the granite (from a previous question). What can you say about the absolute age of the sandstone layer?

Questions Question 1. (10 points) A nutrition researcher wants to compare the effectiveness of two diet programs, Program A and Program B, on weight loss. Ten participants are randomly assigned to one of the two programs. After eight weeks, the weight change (in pounds) for each participant is recorded, where a negative value indicates weight loss and a positivevalue indicates weight gain. Program A −8.2 -5.4 -6.1 -2.7 -4.3 Program B -1.8 0.5 -3.2 -0.7 -2.1 Answer the following questions: (2 points) First, determine whether this is a two independent sample scenario or a paired sample scenario. (8 points) Based on your answer to Question (a), choose a proper one from Wilcoxon’s rank sum test or signed rank test and conduct the test. State the (1) null hypothesis, (2) alternative hypothesis, (3) test statistic, (4) critical value or p-value, (5) test decision, and (6) interpretation of the test decision in the context of the problem.Use
In 2030, fоllоwing а surge in viоlent crimes аnd аn increase in cyberterrorism, the U.S. government in a private-public partnership unveiled an ambitious new security initiative: Sentinel, a nationwide AI-powered surveillance system. Developed in collaboration with leading tech companies including Meta and SpaceX, Sentinel employs cutting-edge machine learning to monitor public spaces through an interconnected web of cameras, drones, and social media tracking algorithms. Its predictive analytics promise to identify potential threats before they occur, providing law enforcement and intelligence agencies with actionable intelligence in real time. The government claims that Sentinel has already saved lives, citing several high-profile successes, such as thwarting a planned bombing in a crowded stadium and identifying a mass shooter before an attack could take place. Proponents argue that the technology is a groundbreaking tool for ensuring public safety in an era of increasing unpredictability. However, the implementation of Sentinel has ignited a national debate. Privacy advocates warn that such pervasive surveillance could erode civil liberties, creating a dystopian society where every move is tracked and analyzed. Critics point to cases where Sentinel flagged innocent individuals based on faulty algorithms, including an incident where a teacher was mistakenly labeled as a “high-risk” individual due to vague connections on social media. Moreover, concerns have been raised about potential abuse by government officials, with whistleblowers alleging that the system has been used to monitor activists and journalists. A leaked memo revealed that some private sector developers involved in the project raised ethical concerns during its development. They argued that the AI’s decision-making is only as unbiased as the data it is trained on, which includes historical crime data often riddled with racial and socioeconomic biases. The memo also warned of “mission creep,” where technologies designed for one purpose, such as counter-terrorism, might later be used for less justifiable actions, like tracking political dissent or cracking down on protests. Adding fuel to the fire, Sentinel’s deployment has coincided with a wave of public protests and civil unrest. People have been engaging in sabotage and destroying Sentinel drones and cameras. Opponents of the system argue that while safety is important, it must not come at the cost of fundamental freedoms. Supporters, on the other hand, argue that in a world plagued by increasing threats, privacy may be a luxury society can no longer afford. Should Sentinel continue to operate nationwide, and if so, under what conditions? You have been appointed as the Ethics Advisor to the President, tasked with evaluating the morality of deploying Sentinel. To guide your decision, you will form a council of three philosophers from those studied in your CEI Ethics class (only one philosopher can come from before midterms). In your response:You will decide which is the more ethical option: A or B. In determining the ethical nature of this question, you devise a thought experiment of creating a council of 3 philosophers (that we have covered in your CEI Ethics class from the textbook - you may only pick one philosopher from before midterms). Which three philosophers would you choose to sit on your council and what important perspective do they each offer? What advice do you think each philosopher would give? Make sure to cite evidence from the reading to justify your reasoning. How would each philosopher answer the other’s points? By the end of your exam, you should be clear about your position. Your council is there to offer advice, but the choice is yours alone. By the end of your exam, you must clearly articulate your own recommendation: A) Should the government continue deploying Sentinel as it is? B) Should the system be dismantled entirely? As your teacher, I care more about you explaining/applying the reading material and how it would relate to this situation than the outcome that you chose. Make sure to address the complexity of the issue. I strongly recommend thinking about the topic thematically instead of going author by author. Advice from the midterm Beware of echo chambers and justify your reasoning for inviting each philosopher. Define terms and give definitions (For example: universal morals are the idea that certain ethical principles and values are widely shared across cultures) Interaction of ideas between authors - go more thematically instead of by author More quotations and page numbers Make clear your position (Give an opinion, ok to use qualifiers)
