Statistical Operations

The statistics menus in the HP 33s provide functions to statistically analyze a set of one– or two–variable data:

„Mean, sample and population standard deviations.

„Linear regression and linear estimation ( xˆ and yˆ ).

„Weighted mean (x weighted by y).

„Summation statistics: n, Σx, Σy, Σx2, Σy2, and Σxy.

Entering Statistical Data

One– and two–variable statistical data are entered (or deleted) in similar fashion using the (or {) key. Data values are accumulated as summation statistics in six statistics registers (28 through 33), whose names are displayed in the SUMS menu. (Press and see Q;º¸).

Note

Always clear the statistics registers before entering a new set of

statistical data (press {c{;} ).
