7-2 Drawing a Statistical Graph

Up to nine graphs, including single-variable data and paired-variable data statistical graphs can be drawn simultaneously ([SetGraph] - [StatGraph1] to [StatGraph9]).

In addition to graphs that can be drawn using [Set Graph], the graphs below can also be drawn at the same time.

•Regression graphs (using [Linear Reg] and other regression commands on the [Calc] - [Regression] menu)

•Function graphs (using the Graph & Table application’s Graph Editor window)Operation Flow Up to Statistical Graphing

Drawing a statistical graph requires the following basic steps: (1) preparation of the list data to be used; (2) selection of the graph type and other graph settings; (3) drawing of the graph.

uTo prepare list data for statistical graphingPrepare the list data using one of the patterns shown below.

Tip

•Single-variable data is data that consists of a single value. If you are trying to obtain the average height of the members of a single class, for example, the single-variable would be height. With paired-variable statistical data there are two values for each data item. An example of paired-variable statistical data would be the change in size of an iron bar as its temperature changes. One variable would be temperature, and the other variable is the corresponding bar size.

•A list of frequency values can contain non-zero integers and decimal values. In the case of a MedBox (page 132) or MedMed line (page 133), however, a frequency list can contain positive integers only. Non-integer values (such as those with a decimal part) cause an error during statistical calculations.

•If you created user list data with another application, open it in the Stat Editor window. For more information, see “To open an existing list” (page 129). You can specify a list displayed in the Stat Editor window as data to be used for statistical graphing.

•You can display up to 99 lists on the Stat Editor window.
