It seems there would be a simple answer to this question but I'm stuck...is there a way to have Minitab place the R-squared or correlation coefficient on scatterplot graph? I'm graphing using the pull down menu: Graph/Scatterplot/With Regression. This will graph the regression line but no coefficient. Any ideas?

Thanks!

The only thing I could find was the option to add a footnote to the graph. When you run the regression procedure, R^2 will be one of the outputs - just add a footer to the graph that says "R-square = .467" or something to that effect. You can then move the footnote to wherever you want it.

Dear list,
How can I copy/cut and paste some Excel charts onto a word file?
When I right click on the Excel charts, unlike SPSS charts, there is not cut or copy function.
I appreciate any help.
Best
Humphrey

There should be a cut or copy option when you right-click on an Excel chart. I use this function all the time.

You can also just select the chart, then press CTRL-c for "copy."

Hello
The first you must click on line of rectangular, invironment of chart
Then right click and copy will be appear .

Thanks for your comments.
when I righ click on the chart the options that I get are:
Format plot area...
chart type...
source data...
chart options...
locations....
3-D viwe....(not active)
chart window(not active either)
clear
Do you think my Excel version has a bug?
Thanks
Humphrey

Right-click somewhere outside the "plot area" but within the chart object itself.

you have to try click on line of rectangular, invironment of chart
Then right click and copy will be appear

I am trying to do simple groupings of data and calculate the means for each. Fo instance, I have 4000 observ, want to analyze cholesterol levels by age group. I would like the program to group the data into relevant age groups, and calculate the means for each. If possible, a program which removes outliers would be helpful.

I dont want tp pay for a mega stat program, since this is about the extent of what i need. Possible if the program did this graphically it could also be ok-

Any suggestions for an inexpensive way to do this. Observations in the range of 5000-6000. Many thanks

Excel has a "Pivot Table" feature that should be able to handle the grouping, along with a little bit of the "=IF" function to create the grouping variables.

Excel could also plot the data by group so that you could at least identify the outliers, and then remove them yourself.
