This is a group assignment. You will complete it with your team (max 3 members enrolled in the same laboratory). It is expected that each team member will contribute equally in the project. Each team will turn in one joint document and give a joint presentation in Timetabled Laboratory class in Week 10. In addition, each individual team member will write a short reflection as part of the report. You will receive feedback on the draft about presentation choices, content, analysis, and style. The Questions Your job is to examine the dataset and present it in a set of informative graphs and text by answering the following questions. Guided Questions for Dataset 1.
