Statistics and MiniTab - Example Problems

[yuffie]

I need some help with statistics and the program minitab. If anyone is familiar with the program, could you possibly help me with a few example problems that I have, if you help me find the answers, then I should be able to figure out the rest by myself.

What is your specific question or example problem? I'm not versed in recent versions, but there are people here who are.

Have you looked here?

Preform a correlation study to determine if there is any relationship between Calories and Sodium content of Beef Hotdogs, Meat, and Poultry.

Provide minitab output and show your work.

combine the data set (n=54) and preform a correlation study that doesnt take into account the type of hotdogs.

BeefCal..MeatCal..PoulCal..BeefSod..MeatSod...PoulCal...BeefCal
186 173 129 495 458 430
181 191 132 477 506 375
176 182 102 425 473 396
149 190 106 322 545 383
184 172 94 482 496 387
190 147 102 587 360 542
158 146 87 370 387 359
139 139 99 322 386 357
175 175 170 479 507 528
148 136 113 375 393 513
152 179 135 330 405 426
111 153 142 300 372 513
141 107 86 386 144 358
153 195 143 401 511 581
190 135 152 645 405 588
157 140 146 440 428 522
131 138 144 317 339 545
149....................319
135....................298
132.....................253


So I have data like that and I have to do what it says up top. I don't know what to do minitab wise, I havent really worked with correlations.

Have a look here for an example of calculating correlation coefficients using Minitab.
