Chapter 5. Problem Solving with One and Two Columns

5.1 Introduction

5.2 Analyzing One Column

5.3 Comparing One Column to Another

5.4 Summary

In contrast to earlier chapters that have focused on describing data and producing graphs, this chapter is about getting answers to your questions and making sense of your data. This problem-solving activity is often a process of trial and error, and it does not lend itself to brief descriptive steps. It takes thought and practice to do this well, but JMP is the perfect companion on this journey. This chapter helps you develop some appreciation and basic JMP skills in this problem-solving process.
