Entering statistical data

Before you can perform statistical calculations, you will need to enter your data. In STAT mode, use >and J(the Q key) to enter the following:

For a single-variable data set:

Value J

Value >frequency J(To enter multiples of the same value)

For a two-variable data set: x value >y value J

x value >y value >frequency J(To enter multiples of the same x and y values)

Note: Before entering data, clear any previously entered data from memory by doing either of the following:

Press .bin STAT mode.

Switch sub-modes within STAT mode.
