Answer:
Paleontology seeks to map out how life evolved across geologic time. A substantial hurdle is the difficulty of working out fossil ages. Beds that preserve fossils typically lack the radioactive elements needed for radiometric dating. This technique is our only means of giving rocks greater than about 50 million years old an absolute age, and can be accurate to within 0.5% or better.
Explanation:
A)
- Do you believe that raising taxes is a fair way of financing public projects? Yes/No
- Do you believe that a new General Motors facility would bring benefits to the state? Yes/No
- How much do you agree with the idea of implementing a new tax in order to finance this facility? Totally agree/Agree/Somewhat agree/Somewhat Disagree/Disagree/Totally Disagree
I would ask these questions because they address the elements that I find important. They would allow me to examine the respondents' view of taxes, General Motors, and the use of taxes to finance private companies.
B)
I would distribute this survey to the working people of Michigan, as they are the ones most likely to care about changes in taxation. I would try to distribute this survey to 1% of the population of the state. This is because such a number of people would give me enough results to obtain results that are statistically significant. However, it is still a small enough number, so I can manage the data easily.
C)
I would first look at an example of an opinion survey conducted in the state of Michigan. I would also look at a survey that discusses the subject of raising state taxes. Finally, I would look at an academic source that explains how to create effective survey questions.
The correct answer is NO.
In this situation, I would <u>NOT</u> be required to stop because the oncoming traffic is separated by the raised median. However, if we had a school bus in the opposite lane but no raised median, it would be okay for us to go on only once the red light was off and the bus moved again.
Answer:
Chemical composition
Explanation:
Minerals are usually classified according to their chemical composition. The chemical composition of a mineral is usually identified through the use of a mass spectrometer. However, to some extent, minerals are also classified according to their physical properties, such as color, shape and sharpness. This is a method that is much more simple and requires less money and time.
