The Probe.jmp sample data table contains 387 characteristics (the Responses column group) measured on 5800 semiconductor wafers. The Lot ID and Wafer Number columns uniquely identify the wafer. You are interested in identifying outliers within a select group of columns of the data set. Use the Explore Outliers utility to identify outliers that can then be examined using the Distribution platform.
