Getting Started

$$ Go to Datasets and legends tab in Module $0.$

$$ Under Software and Simulations Week $1$ watch the tutorial on how to use Excel to:

o Create a barchart

o Construct a Pivot table of counts and$/$or percents and provide it in your post.

o Create a histogram or boxplot.

and paste them in your post.

$$ Warning $-$ Have some fun with color but avoid the $3-$D$$ options.

Answer the questions and make a post of your results.

$$ Take a screenshot of each graph$/$table$.$ Save as an image so that you can upload them to your

discussion post. See tutorial on how to upload an image to the discussion board.
