Module 3 Excel Set 2

A reminder that each student in this course is expected to abide by the Utah State University Code of
Academic Integrity. Any work submitted by a student in this course for academic credit will be the
student's own work. You are encouraged to study together and to discuss information and concepts
covered in lecture and the sections with other students. You can give "consulting" help to or receive
"consulting" help from such students. However, this permissible cooperation should never involve one
student having possession of a copy of all or part of work done by someone else, in the form of an email,
an email attachment file, a diskette, or a hard copy. Should copying occur, both the student who
copied work from another student and the student who gave material to be copied will both
automatically receive a zero for the assignment.
Help for using Excel is at the end of each chapter reading. Use this file to insert your results and answer
the following questions.
