In Method 2, the 56 hot spots will be divided into four groups based on the level of drug crimes - very high drug crime rate ( 10 hot spots), high rate ( 8 hot spots), moderate rate ( 26 hot spots), and low rate ( 12 hot spots). In each group, half the hot spots will be randomly assigned the new crime prevention program and the other half no treatment.

Solution Steps

To solve the given questions, we need to identify the type of data collection methods used in the described scenarios.

a. For Method 1, since the program is implemented in randomly selected hot spots and compared with a control group, it is a designed experiment.

b. For Method 2, the hot spots are divided into groups based on existing conditions and then randomly assigned treatments, which also makes it a designed experiment.

Step 1: Identify the Data Collection Method for Method 1
  • In Method 1, the program is implemented in randomly selected hot spots, and the results are compared with a control group.
  • This setup involves manipulation and control, characteristic of a designed experiment.
Step 2: Identify the Data Collection Method for Method 2
  • In Method 2, hot spots are divided into groups based on existing conditions and then randomly assigned treatments.
  • This also involves manipulation and control, indicating a designed experiment.

Final Answer

  • For part (a), the answer is \(\boxed{\text{C. Designed experiment}}\).
  • For part (b), the answer is \(\boxed{\text{C. Designed experiment}}\).

Durante uma excursão em uma região montanhosa, os alunos observaram a formação de neblina ao amanhecer, um fenômeno comum em áreas com grande variação de temperatura entre o dia e a noite. A temperatura durante a noite havia caído consideravelmente, e a umidade relativa do ar estava alta. Quando o sol começou a aquecer a superfície, a neblina desapareceu rapidamente, revelando uma paisagem clara. Os alunos foram desafiados a identificar a fase da matéria da neblina e os processos termodinâmicos que causaram sua formação e desaparecimento, considerando as condições ambientais. A neblina observada é um exemplo de qual fase da matéria e quais processos físicos estão envolvidos em sua formação e desaparecimento? Alternativas a) Fase líquida em suspensão; condensação e sublimação com a variação de temperatura. b) Fase gasosa; condensação durante o resfriamento noturno e fusão ao amanhecer. c) Fase líquida em suspensão: condensação durante a noite e evaporação com o aquecimento solar. d) Fase sólida, sublimação durante a noite e condensação ao amanhecer.
