Abstract
This class introduces simple, effective ways of describing data. All of the computations and graphing will be done by JMP. Our task — and it is the important task — is to learn how to selectively interpret the results and communicate them to others. The priorities are as follows: first, displaying data in useful, clear ways; second, interpreting summary numbers sensibly.
