Math 210 – Minitab Assignment #3
(Due in class the day of Exam 3)
Directions:
Print off graphs such as histograms, boxplots, etc. when asked to obtain them.
Do NOT print off the data set! This is simply a waste of paper.
Any output such as means or standard deviations that is obtained using Minitab should be
printed. These should not simply be written by hand. For this kind of output, please
label your answers so they are easy to find (i.e. 2a, 4b, etc). Just place the label next to
the output by hand.
Some things need to be done by hand such as counting the number of observations
greater than 4.
When you work with someone, do not turn in the assignment for both but instead, turn in
only 1 assignment with both of your names on it.
If you don't know how to do something, you must ask. It is not acceptable to simply say
that you don't know. Points will be deducted.
Do not clutter the Minitab output by placing your explanation on it. But, instead, place
your explanation on a separate piece of paper.
Do not use the calculator to solve the problem when the instructions clearly state to use
Minitab.
If you have more than 1 page, you will need to staple all pages together. Do not simply
fold the corner over or use a paper clip.
If this is not turned in during class time on the day it is due, it is considered late and will
not be accepted except under extreme circumstances.
1. This is a simulation to understand the meaning of the level of confidence (80%, 90%, 95%, etc.)
for confidence intervals.
