bibliography does not appear using QUickGuide.tex as a template

Question

I am using the QuickGuide.tex as a template and my bibliography for some reason does not appear. If I uncomment the \printbibliography I get an error. Here is my code using PDFLaTeX:

\documentclass[%

Here is the example of my chap1.bib file that I place in the "References" folder:

@book{egan,
 address = {New York},
 publisher = {John Wiley \& Sons},
 author = {Egan, Willian F.},
 title = {Phase-Lock Basics},
 year = {1998},
 %volume = {3},
 %series = {2},
 edition = {1},
 pages = {3--4},
 %month = {January}
}

Can you tell me how I can get the bibliography to show up correctly?

This is what the biber file looks like:

Note that I changed the file name to "EEL6935_Estimation_Theory_HW1".
