How can I prove the following statement?
If $R$ is a reduced Noetherian commutative ring, then every associated prime ideal of $R$ is a minimal prime ideal of $R$.

An associated prime consists entirely of zero divisors. You should be able to express the set of zero divisors of a reduced ring in terms of minimal prime ideals, and to say something about the number of minimal primes in a noetherian ring. At this point, hopefully the way is clear.
