Select Comb MPG (combined miles per gallon) and drag it to the Y zone.
Figure 2.4 Initial Graph of Combined MPG
Because markers are assigned to rows in the data table, points are represented by those markers. The value of Comb MPG for each row is plotted at its value on the vertical axis. To avoid over-plotting points that correspond to observations with the same Comb MPG values, JMP automatically jitters the points.
5.
Place your cursor over Comb MPG in the Y axis. The cursor turns into a hand. Select and drag Comb MPG into the X zone.
