This Minitab Guide accompanies The Basic Practice of Statistics (BPS) by David S. Moore. The
manual is intended to be used with the statistical software package called Minitab. Minitab was
originally developed in 1972 to help professors teach basic statistics. The software is now used
in more than 4,000 colleges and universities around the world. More students have learned
statistics using Minitab than any other package.
