Fundamentals of Statistics with Minitab^®

 

When interpreting data, it is essential to understand their variability and to recognize whether the observed trend is statistically significant. In this webinar, you will learn how to establish statistical significance in a wide range of situations. You will also learn how to design data-collection projects, and how large your sample should be in order to draw meaningful conclusions. This webinar consists of two 3-hour sessions scheduled on two different days. The participants will work through a combination of online instructions, demonstrations, and hands-on computer practice.

 

Topics include:

• Hypothesis testing and confidence intervals
• Inferences about proportions and means
• Correlation and regression

 

You will benefit by:

• Understanding variability in data and draw meaningful conclusions
• Using computer software, Minitab^®, to perform statistical analyses and fit regression models
• Designing data-collection projects
• Planning the appropriate sample size for your project needs

 

Who should attend

 

Engineers, managers, supervisors and other professionals who need to interpret data or to plan projects that need to be supported by data. Some limited prior experience with Minitab^® is recommended (which can be fulfilled by taking our webinar on Using Minitab^® for Understanding Data).
