out calculations and complete solutions. You may use a calculator or Excel spreadsheet to help
perform the necessary calculations, but all co
esponding work must be shown completely.
2. Answer all questions posed in the problem; if applicable, analyze and evaluate your results and
provide a contextual explanation of the solutions you obtained.
