This collection of lab exercises
is designed with the beginning student in mind. The goal of each lab session is to help
the student develop insights into statistical concepts. With Minitab able to handle the
"grunt work" of computation, the student can concentrate on interpretation of
results, and comprehension of the method. Each lab session is
organized around statistical concepts and techniques, rather than software features. The
text contents are compatible with most introductory statistics texts on the market.
The lab sessions first lead students through theory and application of
techniques, with clear step-by-step instructions. Then, in the Moving On...
portion of the lab, students must decide how to approach and solve questions based on an
intriguing variety of real-world datasets.
The text is available from Duxbury
Press. Data files for all lab sessions are also available at the Duxbury
Data Library site.
Instructors: Your Duxbury representative can provide a diskette with solutions to all
Moving On... questions.
