Some questions have more than one part. Try and attempt every part of the question. That way, even if you do not get the answer completely correct, it will at least be possible for you to get partial credit. I cannot give partial credit if you do not attempt to answer a question. For mathematical part, provide the necessary formula and detail work leading to the correct answer (as much as possible) for full credit. Provide graph wherever necessary. Note: All answers should be written in your own words.
This assignment is based on some of the material covered in chapters 2, 3, 4 and 5 of the textbook, Miller. It will be helpful to read the sections of the book relevant to this assignment before attempting to complete the assignment.
