Developing a new software application for data analysis Writing a comprehensive review of existing scientific literature Conducting laboratory experiments on chemical reactions

Collecting pictures of plants from around the world that can be analyzed to look for regional differences in plant growth.

Which of the following applications is most likely to benefit from the use of crowdsourcing? A single-player offline video game A personal finance management tool A private corporate database management system An application that allows users to view descriptions and photographs of local landmarks

An application that allows users to view descriptions and photographs of local landmarks

Which of the following strategies is LEAST likely to introduce bias into a social media application updating its algorithm to connect users with similar interests? Inviting a random sample of all users to try out the new algorithm and provide feedback before it is released to a wider audience Focusing on feedback from users in a specific geographic region Using data from only the most active users to update the algorithm Prioritizing input from users with the most followers

Inviting a random sample of all users to try out the new algorithm and provide feedback before it is released to a wider audience

Which of the following strategies is LEAST likely to introduce bias into a music-streaming application's recommendation algorithm? Focusing on feedback from premium subscribers only Making recommendations based on listening data gathered from a random sample of users of the application Using data from users who listen to a specific genre Prioritizing songs from artists with the most streams

Making recommendations based on listening data gathered from a random sample of users of the application

Which of the following best explains how bias could occur in a mobile game that tracks players' locations using GPS and offers special in-game items at real-world points of interest? The game does not use GPS data for any features The game randomly assigns points of interest without considering player location Points of interest may be more densely located in cities, favoring players in urban areas over players in rural areas. All players receive the same in-game items regardless of location

Points of interest may be more densely located in cities, favoring players in urban areas over players in rural areas.

Which of the following best describes a system that uses crowdsourcing to help pet owners locate lost pets? A local newspaper column listing lost pets A private database for veterinarians to track lost pets A mobile application that allows users to report the location of a pet that appears to be lost and upload a photo that is made available to other users of the application A social media page dedicated to pet adoption

A mobile application that allows users to report the location of a pet that appears to be lost and upload a photo that is made available to other users of the application

Which of the following would be the best use of citizen science? An experiment that requires data measurements to be taken in many different locations A computer simulation of climate change A historical analysis of ancient texts A theoretical physics study conducted in a laboratory

An experiment that requires data measurements to be taken in many different locations

Which of the following actions is most likely to reduce the possibility of bias in a mobile game system that recognizes players' faces to load profiles? Using a single demographic group for testing Focusing on feedback from the most active players Ignoring user feedback during the testing phase Testing the system with people of different ages, genders, and ethnicities
