COMPUTER SOFTWARE
We have used several different packages, including Excel, to demonstrate computer usage.
Minitab can be used for most exercises. A student version of Minitab is available as an option to
purchase in a set with this text. Student versions of software often do not have all the functionality
that full versions do. Consequently, student versions may not support all the concepts presented
in this text. If you would like to adopt for your course the set of this text with the student version
of Minitab, please contact your local Wiley representative at www.wiley.com/college/rep.
Alternatively, students may ind information about how to purchase the professional
version of the software for academic use at www.minitab.com.
