Workshop Statistics: Discovery with Data and Minitab

Brief Answers to Selected In-Class Activities

Compiled by Kathy L. Clawson (Dickinson College,'98), Beth L. Chance

This Web page contains brief answers to selected in-class activities from the Minitab version of Workshop Statistics. These answers address questions which have numerical answers or otherwise short answers. You should note that our answers here are often more succinct than we would prefer students to be. In the interest of brevity we also break the admonition that we expect of students to write in complete sentences and to relate all comments to the context of the data. We do not supply answers to questions calling for explanations, interpretations, guesses, predictions, or expectations on the part of students. For obvious reasons we do not supply answers to questions that ask for the analysis of data collected in class.

Despite this lack of thoroughness, we hope that this guide will prove useful to instructors. For a more complete perspective, you should use these answers in conjunction with the Guide for Instructors, which offers suggestions on what to look for and to emphasize in each in-class activity.

Below you can select an entire unit or a specific activity. The solutions can be printed out by unit: Unit I , Unit II, Unit III , Unit IV, Unit V , Unit VI.
