Minitab and Data Sets
Where to find Minitab?
OSU has a site license for Minitab and is available at the following
labs: Baker Systems 508,Brown Hall 145, Campbell 119,Cunz 148, Ohio
Union 6, and
Stillman 235.
If you are interested in using Minitab at home, go to Minitab's website
(http://www.minitab.com)
and download a free demo version for a month.
Help with Minitab
Minitab has a searchable help feature in addition to
a tutorial.
Minitab guides will be handed out with some homework assignments and
will contain information on how to do select homework
problems.
Feel free to email the instructor and grader with any questions on using
Minitab. We will also be available during office hours and by appointment
to answer questions.
Make arrangements with other Statistics 528 students to work in the
computer labs together and ask each other questions. Remember,
however, that you must turn in your own work (including Minitab
output) for all homework assignments.
Data Sets
The data sets needed for the homework assignments are either in the
Minitab data directory (C:\Program Files\MTBWIN\Data) which is opened
automatically when loading a Minitab worksheet or they are available on the IPS
CD. If you do not have a copy of the CD, you can download the data
from the publisher's website (http://bcs.whfreeman.com/ips4e/).
