The Evolution of a Technological Solution Consider how technology has evolved in your lifetime. These changes may impact how we work to find solutions to the global threats discussed so far. If we could remove the current boundaries of technology and look into the future, how would you use technology to resolve one of these global threats?

Give an example of a type of stress factor: catastrophe, life changes, or daily hassle. Consider how a person under different circumstances may become ill or stay well when confronted with this stress agent. Discuss factors that can buffer the otherwise adverse influences of long-term stress on health and wellness.

One form of nuclear radiation, beta decay, occurs when a neutron changes into a proton, an electron and a neutral particle called a neutrino. When this change happens to a neutron within the nucleus of an atom, the proton remains behind in the nucleus while the electron and neutrino are ejected from the nucleus. The ejected electron is called a beta particle. One nucleus that exhibits beta decay is the isotope of hydrogen 3H, called tritium, whose nucleus consists of one proton (making it hydrogen) and two neutrons (giving tritium an atomic mass m = 3u). Tritium is radioactive, and it decays to helium.
Suppose an electron is ejected from a 3H atom, which has a radius of 1.000×10-14 m. The resulting 3He atom has the same radius as the 3H atom. What is the escape velocity of the electron ejected from the process?
Note: Your answer may be larger than the speed of light which is okay in this scenario.

Changes in Education Attainment: According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the distribution of Highest Education Attainment in U.S. adults aged 25 - 34 in the year 2005 is given in the table below.
Census: Highest Education Attainment - 2005
| No | High School | Associate's | Bachelor's | Graduate or | |
| Diploma | Diploma | Degree | Degree | Professional Degree | |
| Percent | 14% | 48% | 8% | 22% | 8% |
In a survey of 4000 adults aged 25 - 34 in the year 2013, the
counts for these levels of educational attainment are given in the
table below.
Survey (n = 4000): Highest Education Attainment - 2013
| No | High School | Associate's | Bachelor's | Graduate or | |
| Diploma | Diploma | Degree | Degree | Professional Degree | |
| Count | 485 | 1922 | 336 | 876 | 381 |
The Test: Test whether or not the distribution of
education attainment has changed from 2005 to 2013. Conduct this
test at the 0.01 significance level.(a) What is the null hypothesis
for this test?
H0: p1 = p2 = p3 = p4 = p5 = 1/5 H0: The probabilities are not all equal to 1/5. H0: p1 = 0.14, p2 = 0.48, p3 = 0.08, p4 = 0.22, and p5 = 0.08. H0: The distribution in 2013 is different from that in 2005.
(b) The table below is used to calculate the test statistic.

(f) Choose the appropriate concluding statement.
We have proven that the distribution of 2013 education attainment levels is the same as the distribution in 2005. The data suggests that the distribution of 2013 education attainment levels is different from the distribution in 2005. There is not enough data to suggest that the distribution of 2013 education attainment levels is different from the distribution in 2005.

A study of undergraduate computer science students examined changes in major after the first year. The study examined the fates of 256 students who enrolled as first-year students in the same fall semester. The students were classified according to gender and their declared major at the beginning of the second year. The students studied were enrolled at a large Midwestern university several years ago. Discuss how you would conduct a similar study at a college or university of your choice today. Include a description of all the variables that you would collect for your study.

What is the percentage price change for a zero coupon bond if its YTM changes from 3.9% to 4.6%? The bond's face value is $1,000 and it matures in 8 years. Use the price determined from the first yield, 3.9%, as the base in the percentage calculation. Round to the nearest tenth of a percent. (e.g., 4.32% = 4.3). [Hint: If the price dropped, enter a negative number].
