What action steps can you start today to pursue your choices in these career fields?
Complete the following 2 questions below. Please take the adequate amount of time needed to think about this as you begin to make a decision on the career path or trajectory that you wish to undertake. Let us face it; the end game for students is that they want to get the best Return on their Investment (ROI) after completing college. The best way to that is to position ourselves to meet opportunity where it lies–in front of our eyes. We just need to prepare ourselves to meet opportunity when it reveals itself to us. One way is to search and find beneficial internship opportunities.
1) Please visit the links below and view as many internship job openings from various categories as you can. Please don’t limit yourself, and don’t stop yourself from viewing an opportunity because the name of the position doesn’t sound appealing. Keep an open mind.
2) Answer the following question below and upload it in a Word document format:

How much volume has to be exca- vated from the borrow pit to meet the job requirement?
A soil sample taken from a borrow pit has a natural void ratio of 1.15. The soil will be used for a highway project where a total of 100,000 m3 of soil is needed in its compacted state; its compacted void ratio is 0.73. How much volume has to be exca- vated from the borrow pit to meet the job requirement?
What do MCL and MCLG stand for? Briefly discuss the difference between MCL and MCLG.
Prepare your answers in ONE PDF or Word file and name the file as “[] Homework#1 [YOUR NAME]“. If you wish, you may handwrite calculations clearly, take picture of them, and convert pictures into the PDF or Word file.
Show all your work and circle or highlight the final answer. It will help the TA see that you have the correct answer and actually did the work instead of just writing the correct answer.
1.(20 points) Review Toledo’s water quality report (2020) posted on the Blackboard and answer the following questions.
a.What do MCL and MCLG stand for? Briefly discuss the difference between MCL and MCLG.
b.What are three parameters representing byproducts of drinking water disinfection? Based on their MCL, which disinfection byproduct (DBP) seems to be the most toxic?
c.Microcystin is a toxin produced by harmful algal bloom. By the USEPA, what concentration (ppb) is the threshold of ‘Do Not Drink Advisory threshold’ for anyone 6 or older?
d.When Toledo water crisis occurred in year 2014, the Toledo water facility reported that microcystin levels reached 2.5 µg/L (=2.5 x 10-3mg/L). Convert 2.5 µg/L into ppb. How many times (folds) was it compared to the ‘Do Not Drink Advisory threshold’ for children 6 and under’?

Rank the level of hostility they think they have been exerting towards their partner due to having to spend more time than they usually do with them.
People often say “Distance makes the heart fonder.” Interestingly, due to pandemic related lockdowns, some persons have been implicitly or explicitly indicating that it is indeed true as they have been struggling with their relationships due to lack of time apart from their partner. A researcher who is interested in such an issue decided to collect data on the level of rage/edginess that exist among a few couples due to lockdowns. Participants were asked to rank the level of hostility they think they have been exerting towards their partner due to having to spend more time than they usually do with them. The resulting data is presented on page two (2).
2 *14 is the highest level of hostility.
Level of hostility ;0-1, 2-3, 4-5,6-7, 8-9, 10-11, 12-13, 13-14
Number of partners 4,11, 8, 20, 25, 12, 12, 4
a. Calculate the following:
i. Mean
ii. Mode
iii. standard deviation
iv. coefficient of variation
v. Pearson’s 1st measure of skewness
b.Interpret the results of your calculations in part a
Assume that a thorough research is slated to be carried out on the effects of mining in the Cockpit Country on the environment and the economic well- being of residents in said area.
Recently, talks about mining in the Cockpit Country (Jamaica) have been making the headlines. With that comes many debates about the different impacts that it could have on Jamaica. Assume that a thorough research is slated to be carried out on the effects of mining in the Cockpit Country on the environment and the economic well- being of residents in said area.
a. Identify the variables of focus for the slated research.
b. What types of variables are the variables that were identified in part “a”?
eg qualitative etc. Justify your classifications.
c. What is the scale of measurement for each variable. Justify your classifications.
d. The above scenario did not mention whether or not a random or non-random sample will be used. Assuming that you will be apart of the research team, which random/non-random sampling method do you think should be used? Justify your answer.
