Calculator Tips
To clear data from a list: STAT, ENTER, arrow up to highlight L1, clear, enter

Entering data: STAT, ENTER, enter data

**If L1 and L2 do not appear: STAT, 5-Set up editor, ENTER

Then, enter data.

To make scatter plot: 2nd stat plot

Make sure Plot 1 is turned on.
X list: L1 (independent variable)
Y list: L2 (dependent variable)
WINDOW: select a window that will include all of your x and y values
GRAPH

If there are extra lines through your scatter plot: Y=, clear equations

To find line of best fit: STAT, CALC, LinReg(ax+b), and then press ENTER.

To graph the best fit line: Y=, VARS, 5-Statistics, >>EQ, RegEQ, ENTER, GRAPH

***If you get an error,

- Check to see that you entered your data correctly and have the same amount of data in
both columns
- Make sure the lists you chose for your stat plot are the same as the ones where you
entered your data
- Check to see that only Plot 1 is turned on
- If you still get an error message, bring your calculator to Ms. Sutton.
