Problem Solving and Data Analysis using Minitab presents example-based learning to aid readers in understanding how to use MINITAB 16 for statistical analysis and problem solving. Each example and exercise is broken down into the exact steps that must be followed in order to take the reader through key learning points and work through complex analyses. The text contains hundreds of screenshots of the sequential inputs required to drive MINITAB, along with the outputs as well as concise explanation of the statistics being performed and interpretation of results.
