Turn your calculator on
Press Row 1   Column 5.
Clearing the memory
Press Row 2    Column 1 Row 5     Column 1 (you should see CS, for Clear Stat, on the top half of the sigma-plus key). The screen will show Clr YN?. Press Rows 8 and 9   Column 5 (you should see Y above the key on the left). The screen will show Cleared

 

Entering data
one variable

two variables
Enter the first x-value. Press Row 6    Column 1, then the first y-value. Press Row 5     Column 1. Do the same for the other pairs in the list.

 

Calculating one-variable statistics
mean (x)

standard deviation for samples (s or sn-1)
Press Row 2    Column 1 Row 6   Column 4 Rows 8 and 9   Column 5. (You should see sxn-1 on the top half of the nine key.)

Calculating two-variable statistics

r (correlation)

Calculating combinations and permutations
combinations (nCr)
Enter n. Press Row 1    Column 1 Row 5    Column 4 (you should see nCr above the right parenthesis key). Enter r and press Rows 8 and 9   Column 5.
permutations (nPr)
Enter n. Press Row 1    Column 1 Row 5    Column 5 (you should see nPr above the times key). Enter r and press Rows 8 and 9   Column 5.

 

Turning the calculator off
Press Row 2    Column 1 Row 1   Column 5. (You should see OFF on the top half of the key.)

 

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 2    Column 1 Row 5     Column 1 (CS) Rows 8 and 9   Column 5 
2: Enter the data  Row 8   Column 2 Row 7    Column 3 Row 5     Column 1 Row 8   Column 2 Row 7    Column 4 Row 5     Column 1 Row 8   Column 3 Row 9    Column 2 Row 5     Column 1 Row 8   Column 3 Row 8   Column 2 Row 5     Column 1
3: Compute the mean  Row 2    Column 1 Row 6   Column 2 Rows 8 and 9   Column 5 (x)
4: Compute the population standard deviation.  Row 2    Column 1 Row 6   Column 3 Rows 8 and 9   Column 5 (sxn)
5: Compute the sample standard deviation:  Row 2    Column 1 Row 6   Column 4 Rows 8 and 9   Column 5 (sxn-1)


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

B: Find the linear regression line for the following table of numbers.  Also find the correlation.

x 1 2 3 4
y 2 4 5 7

1: Clear Memory  Row 2    Column 1 Row 5     Column 1 (CS) Rows 8 and 9   Column 5 
2: Enter Data  Row 8   Column 2 Row 6    Column 1 Row 8   Column 3 Row 5     Column 1 Row 8   Column 3 Row 6    Column 1 Row 7   Column 2 Row 5     Column 1 Row 8    Column 4 Row 6    Column 1 Row 7    Column 3 Row 5     Column 1 Row 7   Column 2 Row 6    Column 1 Row 6   Column 2 Row 5     Column 1 
3: Compute the slope of the regression line  Row 1    Column 1 Row 6   Column 4 Rows 8 and 9   Column 5 (SLP)
4: Compute the y-intercept of the regression line.  Row 1    Column 1 Row 6   Column 3 Rows 8 and 9   Column 5 (ITC)
5: Compute the correlation.  Row 1    Column 1 Row 6    Column 5 Rows 8 and 9   Column 5 (COR) 


    You should get a slope of 1.6, a y-intercept of 0.5, and a correlation of 0.992277876.
    The regression line would be: y = 1.6x+0.5.

C: Find 10C6 and 9P5.
1: Compute 10C6  Row 8   Column 2 Row 9    Column 2 Row 1    Column 1 Row 5    Column 4 (nCr) Row 7    Column 4 Rows 8 and 9   Column 5
2: Compute 9P5  Row 6   Column 4 Row 1    Column 1 Row 5    Column 5 (nPr) Row 7    Column 3 Rows 8 and 9   Column 5


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