Data Analysis
Answering the questions below is intended to provide you with an understanding of the data in the provided document and space to think about how it can be used to support the argument you are required to make with it for the final phase of this assignment. You will share what you found in small teams during the workshop, where you will help each other hone your thinking on what this data is, tells you, and its utility for making the argument you will make for the final phase of this work. For answers that require more than one or two words or numbers, you must use your own words. Your answers will be presented to your classmates during the workshop (or for those who are asynchronous, on your own time.) No quotations and NO plagiarism Quotations are rarely used in professional engineering and computer science writing; do not get in the habit of doing this. The words in your document must represent your own thinking based on the information you have gathered. Review the plagiarism page if you are unclear on what constitutes plagiarism or are from a region of the world that may think about it differently.
I have the questions listed below, however to answer them use the This will provide a standard organization to your answers to facilitate your workshop discussions.
