Next we will look at how to work in Minitab.

Working in Minitab

Now that you have your data, enter the sample data in Minitab. You can use the copy past function from Excel and Minitab to populate the worksheet as shown below:

Bar Graph

2012-2013 Males by age category and annual total of Violent Victimization

Pie Chart

From the Graph menu select Pie Chart to get the following execution window, select Chart values from a table

Select Categorical variable and Summary variables

Explanation of Results: The information in the charts shows both the age and gender of Violent Victimization victims in 2012 and 2013. These charts represent findings males were higher victims of violent victimization in 2012 between the ages of 18-20, 35-40 and 65 and older.

Binominal Distribution using Scatter Plot

Enter Y and X variables and categorical variables for grouping (0-3)

Results: If your Minitab is set to separate graphs you get the following. To show all on one graph go to the next slide

To show information on one graph, select Multiple Graphs, then Overlaid on the same graph

Scatterplot

Explanation of Results: hypothesis that being male and less than 25 years of age increases the likelihood of being Violent Victimization victims. Based on the data provided this hypothesis is not proven. Male victims between the ages of 18-20, 35-40 and 65 and older are much more likely to be victims of a Violent Victimization.
