*The number of samples for the entered data will be dis- played.

•Entered data are kept in memory until @c or @” are pressed. Before entering new data, clear the memory contents.

•If the number of the sample values exceeds 999,999,999 “n=” will not appear.

•When inputting a formula as a sample value with frequency, parenthesize the data.

Example: ( A * B )§ frequency k

Correcting Entered Data

Correction prior to pressing k:

Delete incorrect data with N.

Correction after pressing k:

(n: number of samples)

In the statistical calculation formulas, an error will occur if:

•the absolute value of the intermediate result or calculation result is equal to or greater than 1 x 10100.

•the denominator is zero.

•an attempt is made to take the square root of a negative number.

ERROR AND CALCULATION RANGES

Errors

An error will occur if an operation exceeds the calculation ranges, or if a mathematically illegal operation is attempted. If an error occurs, pressing <(or >) automatically moves the cursor back to the place in the equation where the error occurred. Edit the equation or press N to clear the equation.

Error Codes and Error Types

Syntax error (Error 1):

•An attempt was made to perform an invalid operation. Ex. 2 +- 5 =

Calculation error (Error 2):

•The absolute value of an intermediate or final calculation result equals or exceeds 10100.

•An attempt was made to divide by 0.

•The calculation ranges were exceeded while performing calcu- lations.

Depth error (Error 3):

•The available number of buffers was exceeded. (There are 8 buffers* for numeric values and 16 buffers for calculation in- structions).

*4 buffers in STAT mode.

Equation too long (Error 4):

•The equation exceeded its maximum input buffer (159 charac- ters). An equation must be shorter than 159 characters.

Calculation Ranges

•Within the ranges specified below, this calculator is accurate to ±1 of the least significant digit of the mantissa. However, a calculation error increases in con- tinuous calculations due to accumulation of each cal- culation error. (This is the same for yx, x¿ , etc. where continuous calculations are performed internally.)

Additionally, a calculation error will accumulate and become larger in the vicinity of inflection points and singular points of functions.

•Calculation range: ±10-99~ ±9.999999999⋅1099 and 0.

If the absolute value of an entry or a final or intermediate result of a calculation is less than 10–99, the value is consid- ered to be 0 in calculations and in the display.
