Sample MINITAB problems

Assuming raw data are in C1, what statistical parameter is calculated in K5 in the following MINITAB commands? _____________________________(5 points).

MTB > Average C1 K1

MTB > Count C1 K2

MTB > Subtract C1 K1 C2

MTB > Raise C2 2 C3

MTB > Sum C3 K3

MTB > Let K4 = K3 / K2-1

MTB > Sqrt K4 K5

List the MINITAB commands below, including columns numbers (C’s) and constants (K’s), that you would use to calculate the fictional statistic W² using the following equation. The data (y_i) are stored in C1. Be sure to indicate where W² would be stored when you are done  (hint: you may not need to fill all the allotted slots) (10 points).
