1. This is an individual assignment, due as shown on the syllabus. After completing the assignment you are to submit the results to Canvas Assignment Section.

2. The assignment contains two parts: The first are the instructions (this document labeled Week 11 Assignment Instructions). The second is the answer template you are required to use and is labeled Week 11 Assignment Answer Template. The answer template contains both the problem statement and the solution template.
