Conclusions drawn from scientific investigations are influenced by both controllable and uncontrollable errors. The purpose of this lab was to quantify fluctuations in measurements and consider these when interpreting data outcomes. Answer the questions below in your lab records to conclude today’s lab.

1. State your general claim from lab 01. In lab 01 your group made a claim which addressed the research question “What affects the period of a pendulum?” Restate that claim here. Be sure to indicate the conditions for which the claim holds. This includes the values held constant (CVs) as well as the range of values tested for the IV.
2. Cite the evidence that supports your claim.
3. Consider a hypothetical exercise.Two students wish to reduce the random error in measuring the period in their pendulum experiment. Which student do you agree with? Explain your reasoning.
4. Consider a second hypothetical exercise.Two students measure the mass of a ring three times using the same balance and get slightly different values: 17.46 g, 17.42 g, 17.44 g. They wish to minimize any experimental error. What might they do? Choose the best option below and explain your reasoning for this selection.
   1. This variation is due to random error. The students should take more data. Random errors can be reduced by averaging over a large number of observations.
   2. This variation is due to systematic error. The students should take more data. Systematic errors can be reduced by averaging over a large number of observations.
   3. There is no way to minimize experimental error.

The data collected during lab 02 may be used to modify your claim, if warranted. The following questions serve as a guide for evaluating all evidence that supports your original or revised claim.

• i.How confident are you in the values obtained for each measurement of the period? Be sure to comment on the sizeof the ranges of uncertainty (error bars) for these measurements.
• ii.Consider whether values on graph are equivalent.It is common convention to draw error bars as ±σ (one standard deviation). If the ranges of uncertainty for two values overlap, then a claim can be made that the values may bethe same. One can’t know for sure that the values are the same! If there is no overlap, however, then a claim can be made that the values are different.
• iii.Consider the best fit line or curve on each graph. How confident are you that your line or curve accurately describes the relationship between your IV and DV?

Your graphs from lab 01 now include error bars. In light of the discussion about overlapping error bars, does your group’s general claim made during lab 01 still hold? If it is no longer true, state a revised claim here.

Student 1:I believe that we should measure the time for the pendulum to swing for 6 complete cycles and then divide by 6 to get the time for one single period. This will reduce the overall random error associated with starting and stopping the stopwatch.

Student 2: I disagree that this is the best approach. The pendulum will slow down enough by the 6^thswing that the measured time will no longer be accurate.

Be sure you have explained your reasoning for the selection above.

Check your lab records for completeness using the rubric below:

Using the information you discussed in your collaborative and class discussion this week, create an 8- to 10- slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation in which you discuss how federal legislation has addressed violence and victimization within correctional facilities at the federal, state, and local levels of jurisdiction. In your presentation:

• Describe at least three separate goals of the PREA legislation. Provide the standards developed by the DOJ to achieve each of these goals.
• Outline the jurisdictions which are subject to the PREA legislation. How does the PREA legislation extend the oversight of the DOJ to jurisdictions previously not subject to such oversight?
• Discuss the behaviors which constitute a violation of 18 U.S.C. §242, Deprivation of Rights under Color of Law. Detail the penalties of violating this criminal statute.

NOTE: presentation must include speaker notes.

Your employer wants to promote a productive and logical work environment. To organize your thoughts and ideas in a coherent manner, you must practice your cognitive skills on a daily basis. To practice the process of creative problem solving, your boss has asked you to create two categorical syllogisms about a hypothetical everyday problem. For example, you are regularly late for work.

2. For your third and final syllogism, your boss wants you to introduce a new minor premise that would provide a logical solution to the problem. By engaging in this process, you will become more accustomed to attacking issues in a cogent manner, making you an even more valuable member of your company.

3. Your boss is looking to fill a new manager position and will use the best presentation as a tutorial for the rest of the staff. Create a presentation using PowerPoint or another visual medium that will communicate your ideas most effectively. Using innovative visuals or more advanced storytelling media might get you the promotion!

4. Finally, provide a short reflection on the collective process using whatever media best suits your idea to your boss. For example, use a brief email, word document, or another multi-media piece.
