Minitab Assignment - Simulation

The purpose of this Minitab assignment is to conduct a simulation involving sampling from the discrete probability distribution below.

X 0 1 2 3 4 5 6

P(X) 0.001 0.003 0.025 0.111 0.279 0.373 0.208

In Minitab, Place the "X" values in column C1.Place the "P(X)" values in column C2.

To simulate a sample of size n=10 from this population, follow the steps in Minitab:

From the top menu, select "Calc/Random Data/Discrete...".

Once the window opens,

Number of rows to generate:10000

Store in columns(s): C3-C12

Values in : C1

Probabilities in: C2

Click OK.

To average the sample observations, follow the steps in Minitab:

From the top menu, select "Calc/Row Statistics..."

Select "Mean".

Click in the box "Input Variables".Enter C3-C12.

Store result in: C14

Click OK

Note:Each row represents a sample of observations.The values in C14 are the sample means of the sample observations in C3 through C12.

1. Use Minitab to find the following descriptive statistics for the sample means in C14.

The mean is _______________ (1 point) and the standard deviation is ___________ (1 point).

Attach the Minitab output (2 points).

2. histogram and normal probability plot for the sample means in C14 (1 point each).

Is the distribution of C14 approximately normal?(2 points)

Explain your answer by referring to both the graph of the distribution (1 point) and the normal probability plot (1 point).

3. Estimate the chance of observing a sample mean that is at least 5.0 (1 point).You must explain your answer (2 points).

4. Submit all relevant graphs and output from the session window with this page

***Im new to minitab. Any help on explaining how to answer these questions would be great! How do I get to the section to make histogram with this information?
