14.6 Notes for the ti-83, 83+, 84 calculator  (Page 2/3)

To deselect equations:

1. Access the list of equations.

   
   

2. Select each equal sign (=).

   
   

3. Continue, until all equations are deselected.

To clear equations:

1. Access the list of equations.

   
   

2. Use the arrow keys to navigate to the right of each equal sign (=) and clear them.

   
   

3. Repeat until all equations are deleted.

To draw default histogram:

1. Access the ZOOM menu.

   
   

2. Select <9:ZoomStat>

   
   

3. The histogram will show with a window automatically set.

To draw custom histogram:

1. Access to set the graph parameters.
2. • $X_{\min }=-2.5$
   • $X_{\max }=3.5$
   • $X_{\mathrm{scl}}=1$ (width of bars)
   • $Y_{\min }=0$
   • $Y_{\max }=10$
   • $Y_{\mathrm{scl}}=1$ (spacing of tick marks on y-axis)
   • $X_{\mathrm{res}}=1$
3. Access to see the histogram.

To draw box plots:

1. Access graphing mode.

   
   , [STAT PLOT]

2. Select <1:Plot 1> to access the first graph.

   
   

3. Use the arrows to select <ON> and turn on Plot 1.

   
   

4. Use the arrows to select the box plot picture and enable it.

   
   

5. Use the arrows to navigate to <Xlist>
6. If "L1" is not selected, select it.

   
   , [L1] ,

7. Use the arrows to navigate to <Freq> .
8. Indicate that the frequencies are in [L2] .

   
   , [L2] ,

9. Go back to access other graphs.

   
   , [STAT PLOT]

10. Be sure to deselect or clear all equations before graphing using the method mentioned above.
11. View the box plot.

Linear regression

Sample data

The following data is real. The percent of declared ethnic minority students at De Anza College for selected years from 1970 - 1995 was:

Student ethnic minority percentage

To enter data and do linear regression:

1. ON Turns calculator on

   
   

2. Before accessing this program, be sure to turn off all plots.
   • Access graphing mode.

     
     , [STAT PLOT]

   • Turn off all plots.

     
     ,

3. Round to 3 decimal places. To do so:
   • Access the mode menu.

     
     , [STAT PLOT]

   • Navigate to <Float> and then to the right to <3> .

     
     

   • All numbers will be rounded to 3 decimal places until changed.

     
     

4. Enter statistics mode and clear lists [L1] and [L2] , as describe above.

   
   ,

5. Enter editing mode to insert values for x and y.

   
   ,

6. Enter each value. Press to continue.

To display the correlation coefficient:

1. Access the catalog.

   
   , [CATALOG]

2. Arrow down and select <DiagnosticOn>

   
   ... , ,

3. $r$ and $r^2$ will be displayed during regression calculations.
4. Access linear regression.

   
   

5. Select the form of $y=a+bx$

   
   ,

The display will show:

Linreg

• $y=a+bx$
• $a=-3176.909$
• $b=1.617$
• $r^2=0.924$
• $r=0.961$

This means the Line of Best Fit (Least Squares Line) is:

• $y=-3176.909+1.617x$
• $\mathrm{Percent}=-3176.909+1.617\mathrm{(year\; \#)}$

To see the scatter plot:

1. Access graphing mode.

   
   , [STAT PLOT]

2. Select <1:plot 1> To access plotting - first graph.

   
   

3. Navigate and select <ON> to turn on Plot 1.

   
   <ON>

4. Navigate to the first picture.
5. Select the scatter plot.

   
   

6. Navigate to <Xlist>
7. If [L1] is not selected, press , [L1] to select it.
8. Confirm that the data values are in [L1] .

   
   <ON>

9. Navigate to <Ylist>
10. Select that the frequencies are in [L2] .

    
    , [L2] ,

11. Go back to access other graphs.

    
    , [STAT PLOT]

12. Use the arrows to turn off the remaining plots.
13. Access to set the graph parameters.
