Question 1. Create one research question and select a data set to test your research question. Your research question should be one of the two types outlined in "Data and Research Questions." Note that the data set should align with the research question and contains at least 20 observations. State the research question and data source. Research question: Data source:NOAA Question 2. Identify the variable to test your research question. Question 3. Using JMP, calculate descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, and five number summary) of your data set. If your research question is to compare the mean of two groups, calculate the descriptive statistics for each group's data set. Refer to JMP Learning Library, Histograms, Descriptive Stats and Stem and Leaf

Sample size (n) Mean Standard deviation Minimum Q1 Median Q3 Maximum Question 4. Using JMP, create a histogram(s) with your data. If your research question is to compare the means of two groups, create two histograms (one for each group). Clearly label the x and y-axis. Refer to JMP Learning Library, Histograms, Descriptive Stats and Stem and Leaf. Question 5. Attach your data set to this report.

( The question is coral reef damage)
