The Social Security trust funds are financial accounts in the U.S. Treasury. These trust funds hold asset reserves and provide automatic spending authority for benefits. There are two separate Social Security trust funds, the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance (OASI) Trust Fund pays retirement and survivors benefits, and the Disability Insurance (DI) Trust Fund pays disability benefits. I want to put out more information about how social security works. Many Americans dont know if you dont pay into social security, the person can get denied social security benefits. When graduating high school, a requirement should be to take a social Security course. Should Social Security be mandatory for all workers, or should it be a choice to participate in the program?
In response to your peers, reflect on suggestions to change the Social Security program.

2. The OASDI program is funded by every employed American considering that every US employed citizen has a portion of their paychecks put into the social security program as precautionary measures. It’s purpose is to have insurance when things go wrong in someone’s life as security (hence the name). This program helps when someone is trying to retire and maintain the same income, have some sort of disability and cannot work (ex: heart problems), or if the main breadwinner dies and the other person cannot maintain the income and expenses. There are two different trust funds that the United States Treasury uses. One is for retirement and survivor benefits, and the other is for people with disabilities. Since the money is going to specific things, it works as a system because then money will not go to things it is not supposed to. Honestly, the social security program is very beneficial for US citizens because we will benefit from the money that we put into it. It is purely to help in time of crisis. Say someone was working and did not contribute to the social security program, and they get into a horrible accident that restricts them from working. This person would have no aspect of income considering they do not qualify for the social security program for disability because they did not put any money into it. It could be improved by raising the payroll tax cap because then it would no longer restrict higher earners from paying as much in taxes which is not fair to low income workers.

. For this problem you will fit multi- exponential decay functions using MATLABs fminsearch utility. The dataset can be downloaded and read into your function that returns ?2: 2~?(() ? ())2 =1 of a fit based on your input parameters; see the Ch.3 of Matlab for the Physical Scientist for an example for fitting a line. a. First try fitting a single exponential decay: Amplitude = A ? e?t ?? (5 pts) b. Next, use the variance-covariance method to estimate the errors of your fitted amplitude and time constant, and report your answers as Amplitude ± and ? ± . Note that much of this is also worked out in Ch. 3 of Matlab for the Physical Scientist. (5 pts)
Chem 240 Problem Set 1 Makeup
1. For this problem you will fit multi-
exponential decay functions using
MATLABs fminsearch utility. The dataset
can be downloaded and read into your
function that returns ?2:
2~?(() ? ())2
=1
of a fit based on your input parameters;
see the Ch.3 of Matlab for the Physical
Scientist for an example for fitting a line.
a. First try fitting a single exponential
decay:
Amplitude = A ? e?t ?? (5 pts)
b. Next, use the variance-covariance method to estimate the errors of your fitted
amplitude and time constant, and report your answers as Amplitude ± and ?
± . Note that much of this is also worked out in Ch. 3 of Matlab for the Physical
Scientist. (5 pts)
FYI here are some additional MATLAB commands for you to know on plotting
data with the optimum fit that you derive using fminsearch:
>> plot(prob1(:,1),prob1(:,2),’b’)
>> hold on
>> plot(prob1(:,1),fit,’k–‘)
>> xlabel(‘Time (s)’)
>> ylabel(‘Amplitude’)
>> set(gca,’TickDir’,’out’);
2. For this question download this
dataset, which is the same from
question one but with a 3rd column that
gives you the size of the error bars.
Next, repeat the analysis of question 1a
using the error bars in the data analysis.
To this end, you have to modify your
calculation function to include the errors
to the data points via:
2~?(
1
2) ? (() ? ())2
=1
Plot the data again using the errorbar function of MATLAB (see code snippet
below) with an overlaying fit to the data. Note that your fitted parameters should
be nearly identical to that from problem 1. (5 pts)
FYI, here is some more MATLAB code for you to make a nice figure for this
dataset:
>> errorbar(prob2(:,1),prob2(:,2),prob2(:,3))
>> xlabel(‘Time (s)’)
>> ylabel(‘Amplitude’)
>> set(gca,’TickDir’,’out’);
b. Now use the errors per data point to calculate and . Please print out
your program and present the results in the form: Amplitude ± and ? ± .
(5 pts)
3. For this problem we will fit a signal
that isnt quite what it appears to be at
first.
a. First download the dataset. Next,
use fminsearch to find the optimal
parameters for a single exponential
decay. Please include a copy of your
program with your optimized amplitude
and time constant and a graph with the
fit. (5 pts)
b. You may have noticed that the fit wasnt so good. As a result, try an
exponential decay with a linear component:
Amplitude = A ? e?t ?1? + B ? t (5 pts)
For both parts please provide a graph with a fit for your answer, the best fit
amplitudes (A&B) and the time constant ?1, and a copy of your programs.
4. a. For this problem, please fit a
Gaussian to this dataset of the intensity
of a UV/Vis spectra peak. The function
is:
Intensity = A ? e?(??0)
2 22?
where you have to calculate the
optimum amplitude A, center
wavelength 0, and sigma (). As usual
please provide a copy of your program
and a graph with the data and your fit.
(5 pts)
b. Use the variance-covariance method to calculate the errors of the three fitted
parameters and report your answer as : Amplitude ± , 0 ± 0, and ± .
Of course provide a copy of your program. (15 pts)

Remember, your reflection paper should be written in 1st person.
Use the APA Style Resources to help you format your paper and your references. [More clarifying details are also listed below.]
Ensure you complete Race Implicit Association Test (Race IAT) *and* at least two (2) additional Implicit Association Tests. In other words, you must complete a minimum of 3 IATs.
Within your paper, clearly state that you took the Race IAT and then proceed to write about your results from the Race IAT.
Within your paper, clearly specify the two additional IATs that you completed. For example, you can state something like, “I also completed the ABCD IAT and the LMNO IAT and they provided me with the following feedback…”
In addition to completing the 3 required IATs and describing the results in your paper, your paper must also address the following prompts:
Describe at least two (2) new pieces of information you have learned about hidden bias, prejudice, stereotyping, stigma, or discrimination (as a result of reviewing the material and taking the 3 IATs).
Write, in your own words, how this new information helped you better understand an experience you have had personally or an experience someone else has encountered with hidden bias. Please provide enough context of the “who, what, where, when, why, and how” of the experience you choose to share so you can further describe your enhanced understanding of hidden bias. For example, those scenarios may include an experience wherein:
you felt hidden bias towards someone or
you were the recipient of hidden bias or
you witnessed hidden bias.
Use your course textbook, the Learning for Justice website (formerly Teaching Tolerance)Links to an external site., *and* at least two (2) additional sources (for a minimum of 4 different sources).
In other words, there will be 4 entries on your list of references. You may use more, if you so choose.
