****USF College of Engineering Majors are departments or major topic areas in departments, they include: Biomedical engineering, chemical engineering, civil engineering, structural engineering, environmental engineering, transportation engineering, computer science, computer engineering, cybersecurity, electrical engineering, industrial engineering, and mechanical engineering
Work to Submit. Complete all of the required information for each source you will use.
Element 3: Probability and Statistics Literacy will Enhance Your Employability.
For this section you will review the data attached, determine the statistical parameters that are important for your argument in the data and present the data in a table.
Work to Submit: For this part of the assignment, you will complete the following for both required sources:
