In this assignment, you will analyze the information and prepare a report interpreting the results of a Markov analysis and an EEO investigation. To begin the assignment, review the information in the case, as well as the information provided in Chapter $2("$Legal Compliance"$)$ and Chapter $3("$Planning$")$ of the textbook. Next, address the assignment questions below.

Below is the completed Markov Analysis forecast and gap analysis $($from Table $1\mathrm{.}1$ on page $2$ of the case$).$ The calculations have been done for you, but it is strongly recommended that you review the steps of conducting a Markov Analysis in the textbook $($pp$.110-113)$ in order to accurately interpret the results.
