This text presents the fundamental principles of statistics. It describes 65 experiments that simulate repeated sampling from several populations to illustrate how various statistical techniques work. For example, learn on your own what happens to the sampling distribution of the mean when the population is non-normal and the sample size is small. Develop a deeper understanding of how frequently Type I or Type II errors occur in tests of hypothesis. All of the experiments require the use of Minitab (mainframe, PC, or student version), one of the most popular statistical software packages in university and college statistics courses. The commands that run the experiment are stored on an enclosed disk, making it a simple task to conduct the experiments, even if you have little or no experience using Minitab.
