USING MINITAB IN MATH DEPARTMENT COMPUTER LABS

I. To use math department labs, you need an account. To get one, you will need to go to the main math department computer lab, RLM 7.122. You will need you UT EID, and possibly my name.

II. In addition to the "big lab" mentioned above, there are smaller graduate student computer labs on the ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth floors of RLM.

III. To open Minitab, use the Applications menu to go to Accessories, and then to Terminal. In the terminal window, type "minitab" and press Return.

IV. To use data sets from the textbook:

1. Go to the web site http://www.wright.edu/~dan.voss/bookdata/data.html (there is also a link from the class home page)

2. Click on "txt" after the desired data file. This should open the data file in a new window in your browser. Copy and paste the data onto a Minitab worksheet.

Save the worksheet as a Minitab file so you can just open it using "open worksheet" or "open project" when you use it again.
