Question
Chapter 1, Problem 1GST
To determine
The three possible theories and their explanation according to the given scenario.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1GST
The three possible theories and their explanation according to the given scenario are the power cut in the particular room, power outage in the area or the non-working sources of light.
Explanation of Solution
The given scenario is that- A light was switched on in a dark room and light did not lit. According to the given scenario, the three least possible theories are as follows:
- The electricity in the particular room might have been disconnected. This can be resolved by checking the power connections and circuit breaks in the house.
- There may be a local power outage. This possibility can be determined by checking the general power outage in that particular house, area or street.
- The source of light such as tubes and bulbs may no longer be working or turned out. This can be determined by the replacing the sources with new ones.

Cronon’s Research on Wilderness – Consider Cronon’s study of wilderness, as discussed by Kanazawa (2023). In what ways, if any, would it have been appropriate for Cronon to have used quantitative methods in his study of the concept of wilderness, and to what end?
