The Apply Your Skills projects challenge you by describing what needs to be done but not exactly how to do it$.$ Take your time, follow all directions, and use the approaches presented in the chapter discussions and examples unless otherwise noted. The system grades for correct spelling, accurate data entry $($text$,$ numerals, and formulas$),$ and the inclusion of details such as colons and formatting. Review your statements for correctness and readability prior to submitting.

If your classroom is using eLab with Project Grader $($PG$),$ download and use the eStart file on the Assignments page and submit as directed. If you don't use the eStart file, your work cannot be automatically graded. Do not make any changes that are not specified, as this may prevent your work from being properly graded by the automated system.

If you are not using Project Grader, open the indicated file from your chapter folder.
