General Stat tips:

bulletWhen identifying the "Who" for a description of data, your answer should include, if possible, both a number and a description. Example: If 882 babies were examined, the Who is "882 babies", not "babies", and not "882".
bulletWe will cover how to do various things in JMP on an "as-needed" basis in the Powerpoints and in supplemental files.
