Stat 217 Introduction to Statistical Concepts and Methods Winter 2008

Mini-project Assignments

The purpose of these assignments is to give you experience using software to analyze data and writing a report of your findings.

These two mini-projects involve use of Minitab. You can download a free copy of Minitab for your PC, or you can use Minitab in PC labs on campus. Fairly detailed instructions are provided with the assignments, and links to datafiles appear below.

You may work with one partner on each mini-project, submitting one report with both names, provided that both of you contribute substantially to the mini-project. Your reports must be word-processed.

Due dates are listed below, along with advice about when you will know enough to begin each mini-project. You are encouraged to begin early so you have ample time to ask questions.
