Book Description

This manual asks students to gather their own data, work with it in Minitab "RM", and report on it in writing. Each of the 17 assigned experiments combines several important statistical concepts. The manual also features: -- Laboratory experiments that emphasize data analysis, design of experiments, and sampling -- Experiments that interrelate classical concepts and techniques -- Writing assignments that focus student attention on interpretation of output -- Experiments that challenge students to go beyond simple answers by reflecting on experimental results, drawing conclusions, and revising and extending the experiments -- Several experiments that are designed as group projects
