Expanded and revised to include new computing exercises using actual data along with tips, solutions and a set of updated questions. Computer use is encouraged to facilitate analysis of data sets too large to be done by hand; to assist in the drawing of diagrams, histograms and scatter plots; to simulate probability models in order to illustrate probability and statistical theory. Explains how to tackle computing exercises using the statistical package MINITAB.
