One Sample Wilcoxon Test with Minitab
What is the One Sample Wilcoxon Test? The one sample Wilcoxon test is a hypothesis test to compare the median of one population with a specified value. Null Hypothesis (H0): η = η0 Alternative Hypothesis (Ha): η ≠ η0 It is an alternative test of one sample t-test when the distribution of the data is non-normal. It is…

Kruskal Wallis One-Way Analysis of Variance The Kruskal Wallis test with Minitab is a one-way analysis of variance, a statistical hypothesis test to compare the medians among more than two groups. Null Hypothesis (H0): η1 = η2 = … = ηk Alternative Hypothesis (Ha): at least one of the medians is different from others Where:…

What is Mood’s Median Test? Mood’s median test is a statistical test to compare the medians of two or more populations. Null Hypothesis (H0): η1 = … = ηk Alternative Hypothesis (Ha): At least one of the medians is different from the others The symbol k is the number of groups of our interest and…
Read MoreMann Whitney Testing with Minitab
What is the Mann Whitney Test? The Mann Whitney test (also called Mann–Whitney U test or Wilcoxon rank-sum test) is a statistical hypothesis test to compare the medians of two populations that are not normally distributed. In a non-normal distribution, the median is the better representation of the center of the distribution. Null Hypothesis (H0): η1…

What is One Way ANOVA with Minitab? The One way ANOVA with Minitab is a statistical method to compare means of two or more populations. Null Hypothesis(H0): Alternative Hypothesis(Ha): At least one μi is different, where i is any value from 1 to k It is a generalized form of the two sample t-test since…
Read MorePaired t Test with Minitab
What is a Paired t Test with Minitab? A Third type of a Two Sample t-Test using Minitab is the Paired t Test with Minitab. This test is used when the two populations are dependent of each other, so each data point from one distribution corresponds to a data point in the other distribution. When…
Read MoreTwo Sample t Test with Minitab
What is Two Sample T Test with Minitab? Two sample t test with Minitab is a hypothesis test to study whether there is a statistically significant difference between the means of two populations. Null Hypothesis (H0): μ1 = μ2 Alternative Hypothesis Ha) : μ1 ≠ μ2 Where: μ1 is the mean of one population and…
Read MoreOne Sample t Test with Minitab
What is a t Test? In statistics, a t test is a hypothesis test in which the test statistic follows a Student’s t distribution if the null hypothesis is true. We apply a one sample t test with Minitab when the population variance (σ) is unknown and we use the sample standard deviation (s) instead.…
Read MoreCentral Limit Theorem with Minitab
What is the Central Limit Theorem with Minitab? The Central Limit Theorem is one of the fundamental theorems of probability theory. It states a condition under which the mean of a large number of independent and identically-distributed random variables, each of which has a finite mean and variance, would be approximately normally distributed. Let us…
Read MoreMulti Vari Analysis with Minitab
What is Multi Vari Analysis with Minitab? Multi Vari analysis with Minitab is a graphic-driven method to analyze the effects of categorical inputs on a continuous output. It studies how the variation in the output changes across different inputs and helps us quantitatively determine the major source of variability in the output. Multi-Vari charts are…
Read MoreProcess Capability with Minitab
What is Process Capability with Minitab? Process capability with Minitab measures how well the process performs to meet given specified outcome. It indicates the conformance of a process to meet given requirements or specifications. Capability analysis helps to better understand the performance of the process with respect to meeting customer’s specifications and identify the process…

Implement an Attribute MSA with Minitab Data File: “Attribute MSA” tab in “Sample Data.xlsx” (an example in the AIAG MSA Reference Manual, 3rd Edition). Steps in Minitab to run an attribute MSA: Step 1: Reorganize the original data into four new columns (i.e., Appraiser, Assessed Result, Part, and Reference). Click Data → Stack → Blocks…
Read MoreBox Plot with Minitab
What is a Box Plot with Minitab? A box plot with Minitab is a graphical method to summarize a data set by visualizing the minimum value, 25th percentile, median, 75th percentile, the maximum value, and potential outliers. A percentile is the value below which a certain percentage of data fall. For example, if 75% of…
Read MoreScatter Plot with Minitab
What is a Scatter Plot with Minitab? A scatter plot with Minitab is a diagram to present the relationship between two variables of a data set. A scatter plot consists of a set of data points. On the scatter plot, a single observation is presented by a data point with its horizontal position equal to…
Read MorePareto Analysis with Minitab
What is Pareto Analysis with Minitab and the Pareto Principle? The Pareto principle is an observation not a law. Named after Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto, this principle states that for a variety of situations, 80% of consequences come from 20% of the causes, thus the Pareto principle is also known as the 80/20 rule. The…
