The following table is un-normalized.
The original data set is in the Normalization Lab Data.xls file in your lab folder. For each question that requires you to re-write tables, re-write them in the Excel workbook and copy/paste your new table(s) in the appropriate sections of the Lab: Normalization Template located on the assignment page. Tables must include all data (not merely column headings). To make your results more readable, paste your tables as bitmaps or screenshots. To receive credit for these questions, your tables must be easily readable. You may refer to the Lab: Normalization Example file (found on the assignment page) as an example on how to approach this task.
