  • This laboratory introduces students to the basics of the Minitab software. Students make use of a basic example (water consumption and temperature) to introduce students to manipulation of data, calculation of descriptive statistics, creation of histograms, boxplots and scatterplots. Students are asked to hand in the results they have produced. Accompanying documents give model solutions.

  • This activity guides students through the process of checking the validity of data, performing summary analysis, constructing box plots, and determining whether significant differences exist. The data comes from a study of mineral levels in older adults and is available in Minitab, Excel, SAS, and text formats.

  • This chapter of the NIST Engineering Statistics handbook "presents the background and specific analysis techniques needed to compare the performance of one or more processes against known standards or one another." It contains an introduction and information about comparisons with one process, two processes, and three or more processes or samples. Topics include outliers, trends, confidence intervals for means and proportions for one sample. Also included are materials on ANOVA, Kruskal Wallis tests, tests for equivalence of variances, variance components, chi-square tests for contingency tables and multiple comparisons.
