6-1 Review Boxplots: Notice the use of (new) terms low quartile and high quartile. Low quartile = Q1, and high quartile = Q3.
6-2 First DataDesk activity: Remember that to select a variable as Y, just click on it. To select it as X, do Shift-click. To remove selections, click elsewhere in the window holding the variables.
Notice that this activity shows you how to make side-by-side boxplots and do variable summaries in two ways, depending on how the data are presented. You should be able to determine which method to use based on data presentation.
