When it comes to analyzing data, it's important to look at many basic descriptors first. JMP is a great tool to use to view basic statistics and graphics for your data.

In this short course, we will cover how to:

• Know how to get descriptive statistics like mean, median and variance •

Plot histogram, boxplot, stem-and-leaf plot, normal quantile plot of a variable
