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  The F 6 Key: The righmost key on the top row. (Right Arrow Character) The F 4 Key: Fourth key in the topmost row (DEL·A)
2: Enter the data:   The One Key: Row 7, Column 1 The Five Key: Row 6, Column 2 The E X E Key: Row 8, Column 5 The One Key: Row 7, Column 1 The Six Key: Row 6, Column 3 The E X E Key: Row 8, Column 5 The Two Key: Row 7, Column 2 The Zero Key: Row 8, Column 1 The E X E Key: Row 8, Column 5 The Two Key: Row 7, Column 2 The One Key: Row 7, Column 1 The E X E Key: Row 8, Column 5
3: Compute the mean  The F 2 Key: Second key in the topmost row (CALC) The F 1 Key: The leftmost key in the top row. (1VAR) 
4: Compute the standard deviation (population):  The F 2 Key: Second key in the topmost row (CALC) The F 1 Key: The leftmost key in the top row. (1VAR) 
5: Compute the standard deviation (sample):  The F 2 Key: Second key in the topmost row (CALC) The F 1 Key: The leftmost key in the top row. (1VAR)


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

4: Compute the y-intercept of the regression line  The F 2 Key: Second key in the topmost row (CALC) The F 3 Key: Third key in the topmost row of keys (REG) The F 1 Key: The leftmost key in the top row. (X) 
5: Compute the correlation  The F 2 Key: Second key in the topmost row (CALC) The F 3 Key: Third key in the topmost row of keys (REG) The F 1 Key: The leftmost key in the top row. (X) 


    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  The One Key: Row 7, Column 1 The Zero Key: Row 8, Column 1 The Option Key: Row 1, Column 2 The F 6 Key: The righmost key on the top row. The F 3 Key: Third key in the topmost row of keys (PROB) The F 3 Key: Third key in the topmost row of keys (nCr) The Six Key: Row 6, Column 3 The E X E Key: Row 8, Column 5
2: Compute 9P5

 The Nine Key: Row 5, Column 3 The Option Key: Row 1, Column 2 The F 6 Key: The righmost key on the top row. The F 3 Key: Third key in the topmost row of keys (PROB) The F 2 Key: Second key in the topmost row (nPr) The Five Key: Row 6, Column 2 The E X E Key: Row 8, Column 5


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