This assignment has two parts.
The first part, worth 50 points, uses the HERD data file and requires that you compute basic descriptive statistics, create some boxplots, and perform some comparisons of expenditures for Texas schools only.
The second part uses the breast cancer data file and requires that you examine the variables to determine if there are any that can be used to help identify breast cancer. Boxplots and summary statistics are used to help you determine if any variables show statistically significant differences in measurements between benign and malignant cells.
