| 1. Enter lists |
|
     |
In OPS, SetLEdit sets up the List editor. |
 |
The xStat, yStat, and fStat lists are on screen. |
To clear a list, use the arrow keys to hilite
the name of the list, then press 
 |
| |
|
| Now enter the data into the sStat and yStat
lists. To begin entering data into a list, hilite the first entry in the list (or the
dotted line in an empty list), type in the number, and press after each value. |
| |
|
| Enter a 1 into the fStat list for each entry
in the xStat list. |
 |
Exit the list editor |
| |
|
| 2. Do the linear regression |
 |
Go to the statistics operations. |
 |
Calculate the LinR (linear regression) line. Values of a,
b, corr (which is r), and n are now on screen. |
| |
|
| 3. Turn on the statistics plot. |
| |
Turn on Plot1 |
 |
Use a scatter plot |
| |
Xlist name is xStat |
 |
Ylist name is yStat |
| |
Use a ú mark |
| |
Return to home screen |
| |
|
| 4. Graph the data |
 |
Then put cursor on any equation present. |
| , more if
needed |
Clear all equations. |
| |
Graph the scatter plot using a zoom to fit the data. |
| |
|
| 5. Graph the linear regression line |
| |
Paste the statistics variable RegEq (the regression
equation) into y1. |
| |
Use the zoom data window to plot the regression line with
the data |
| |
|
| 6. Use the regression line to make predictions |
| |
Use the statistics forecast (FCST) function |
| Enter the x value where the prediction is to
be made |
| |
Put cursor on line where ‘y=’ is and use the
solver to find the predicted y value. |
| |
|
| 7. Turn off the statistics plot |
 |
Turn off stat plot1 and return to home screen. |
