To get the data go to M119, log on, open MINITAB, click on the Open Project icon, change to rolke on pompeya (K), click on 3101 and select surveyspring2008

Note use MINITAB for all your calculations. Give the corresponding sequence of commands. Your solution should also be doable if this class had 1 million students!

Problem 1 What percentage of the students in my courses expect an A in the class?

Problem 2 What is the mean GPA of all my students? Is there a difference between 3015 and 3101 students?

Problem 3 The results of the survey indicate that I made a mistake when I phrased one of the questions. Which one and why? Can the data (from this question) still be useful?

Problem 4 Draw the following graph:

with your name instead of mine!

give all necessary MINITAB commands to draw the graph

Hints
a) some more examples for using MINITAB are found here
b) MINITAB graphs are a lot like programs like Paintbrush, you can click on anything to select it and then right-click for a menu.
