(Minitab Inc: State College, PA) -- Statistics can be difficult, but it doesn’t have to be. That’s why Minitab, a leading provider of software for quality improvement, is offering a free webinar, “The Assistant: Your Guide to Data Analysis.”

The hour-long webinar will be held April 5, 2011, at 2 p.m. EDT, and on May 11, 2011, at 11 a.m. EDT. Participants will see how the Assistant menu in Minitab 16 Statistical Software makes hypothesis tests, control charts, process capability, and regression accessible to everyone. Space is limited. Registration is free.

The ability to perform basic analyses is particularly important in business because proven quality improvement methods such as Six Sigma rely on the ability to analyze data. Minitab added the Assistant to its latest release to help more people and businesses take advantage of the benefits of data-driven quality improvement projects.

“With the Assistant, no one needs to be intimidated by statistics,” says Michelle Paret, product marketing manager for Minitab.
