The position of the graphically represented keys can be found by moving your mouse on top of the graphic. 

Turn your calculator on
Press Row 4, Column 5     It's orange.. (You should see the word ON to the right of the key.)
Clearing the memory
Press Row 1, Column 1  says INV on top of the key Row 4, Column 5 (you should see SAC, for Stat All Clear, above the key). 

 

Entering data
one variable
Press Row 7, Column 2.  This puts you in STAT mode.  SD will appear on the screen.  Type in first number.  Press Row 4, Far Right.   Type in second number.  Press Row 4, Far Right.   Continue until all the data has been entered.
two variables
This calculator does not do regression.

 

Calculating one-variable statistics
mean (x)
Press Row 1, Column 1  says INV on top of the key Row 4, Column 1.  You should see x above the key. 
standard deviation for populations (s or sn)
Press Row 1, Column 1  says INV on top of the key Row 4, Column 2.  You should see sn above the key. 
standard deviation for samples (s or sn-1)
Press Row 1, Column 1  says INV on top of the key Row 4, Column 3.  You should see sn-1 above the key. 

Calculating two-variable statistics

r (correlation)
This calculator does not do regression.
regression coefficients
slope
This calculator does not do regression.
y-intercept
This calculator does not do regression.


Calculating combinations and permutations
combinations (nCr)
Enter the n value.  Press Row 1, Column 1  says INV on top of the key Row 3, Column 4 (you should see nCr above the key).  Enter the r value.  Press Bottom right.
permutations (nPr)
Enter the n value.  Press Row 1, Column 1  says INV on top of the key (you should see nPr above the key).  Enter the r value.  Press Bottom right.

 

Turning the calculator off
This is a solar calculator.  You can't turn it off.  EVER!  (Okay, it shuts down after two minutes of non-use).

 

Worked Out Examples

In the following examples, we list the exact key sequence used to find the answer.  We will list the keys by the main symbol on the key.  In parentheses, we will list a helpful mnemonic, e.g. we will list ex as (ex).


A: What is the mean and standard deviation of the following list of numbers?

15      16      20      21

1: Clear Memory  Row 1, Column 1  says INV on top of the key Row 4, Column 5 (SAC) 
2: Enter Data   Row 4, Far Right Row 4, Far Right Row 4, Far Right   
 
Row 4, Far Right
3: Compute the mean   Row 1, Column 1  says INV on top of the key Row 4, Column 1 (x)  
4: Compute the population standard deviation  Row 1, Column 1  says INV on top of the key Row 4, Column 2 (sn
5: Compute the sample standard deviation.  Row 1, Column 1  says INV on top of the key (sn-1)


    You should get a mean of 18, population standard deviation of 2.549509757 and a sample standard deviation of 2.943920289.

B: Find 10C6 and 9P5.
1: Compute 10C6   Row 1, Column 1  says INV on top of the key Row 3, Column 4 (nCr)  
2: Compute 9C5   Row 1, Column 1  says INV on top of the key (nPr)  


You should get 10C6 = 210 and 9P5= 15120.
