0:03 okay for this session I will teach you
0:05 on how to use the basic function of
0:09 Minitab in relation to basic statistics
0:12 so that we will be converting measures
0:14 of central tendency and measures of
0:18 dispersion okay we have to get the data
0:21 so for this case I will be demonstrating
0:25 how you can copy your data from Excel to
0:27 Minitab but just in case the data is not
0:32 available you can just type this into
0:34 your Minitab Burchett so I just copied
0:37 it and now I'm gonna go to Minitab and
0:41 then i'll have to paste it here make
0:45 sure that when you're tasting your data
0:48 into Minitab you have to start in this
0:51 blank rows this blank rows here this
0:55 contains the headers so I have to face
1:00 it here now I have a column of data in
1:05 timing minutes with six data points now
1:08 I will show you the basic function that
1:10 is related to the basic statistical
1:13 measures which are central tendency and
1:17 dispersion okay so we have to go to stat
1:20 you have to click start and then we have
1:24 to click display descriptive statistics
1:26 so this summarize your data with
1:30 descriptive statistics such as the mean
1:32 and standard deviation and display the
1:34 results in the session window so let's
1:38 click this left click and now it's
1:41 asking us for variable data variable
1:45 data is the same with continuous data so
1:47 anything that you can measure you can
1:49 put it here and because timing minutes
1:54 is measurable then we can use this you
1:57 just have to do a double left-click here
2:00 okay and then it will go into this
2:06 dialog box now before clicking okay you
2:09 can actually explore statistics by
2:12 clicking left click and
2:15 check which statistical measures do you
2:17 need or descriptive statistics do you
2:20 need for our case what we want to do is
2:23 to calculate the mean the standard
2:27 deviation the variance let's uncheck
2:32 this we have the range and probably the
2:37 me genius the mode yes and so all in all
2:39 there should be six like three four
2:42 measures of central tendency and three
2:45 four measures of dispersion now I think
2:49 we've checked them already we have to
2:54 click ok and another okie here and the
2:57 output will be shown here in the dialog
2:59 box as you can see the number of data
3:03 points which is described by n is 6
3:05 there are no missing data points
3:10 described by n and star and then the
3:13 average is 3 point 33 the standard
3:15 deviation is 3.2 the variance is 10
3:19 point 97 the median is to the range is 8
3:24 the mode this one and the number of data
3:28 values that has the value of 1 is 3 now
3:30 this is a way in Minitab that we could
3:33 get the basic statistical measures that
3:36 we have studied in the measure phase now
3:39 what you will do on the next section is
3:42 to answer a quiz but before that we will
3:45 have to download to case study where and
3:47 you will use this function as a form of practice
