Overleaf is recommended for collaboration. The student accounts are free to create a project with one collaborator.

Please Write down you answers one by one following the same order provided on Canvas. Please label each question clearly in the submission.

• In the conceptual problems, clearly state your solution through math expressions and additional explanations.
• For the data analysis problems, insert your plots or tables to the writings. In addition, write down your comments and explanations along with your plots.
