Graphs: STAT PLOT (2nd Y=) → Turn on → choose graph


Graph 1: Scatterplot
Graph 2: Time Plot (hardly every used)
Graph 3: Histogram Clear all equations in Y= and hit
Graph 4: Box & Whisker with outliers shown as asterisks ZOOM #9
Graph 5: Box & Whisker with no outliers shown
Graph 6: Normal Probability Plot (linearity means your TRACE & arrow over for specific points
data is approx. normal)

Summary Statistics: STAT → CALC → #1: 1-Var Stats L1 (or any other list) → ENTER
Shows mean, median, std. dev., Q 1, Q 3, etc.

CH. 2

Area Under a Normal Curve (instead of looking in the z-table):


DISTR (2nd VARS) → #2: normalcdf ( → specify your interval → ENTER
Note: Interval must be standardized (in z-scores) & you need lower or upper bounds.
Example: Area to the left of 0.4: DISTR → #2: normalcdf (-100, 0.4) → ENTER = .6554
Area to the right of 0.4: DISTR → #2: normalcdf (0.4, 100) → ENTER = .3446
Area between -0.4 and 0.4: DISTR → #2: normalcdf (-0.4, 0.4) → ENTER = .3108

Reverse Z-Score (instead of looking in the table):


DISTR (2nd VARS) → #3: invNorm ( → specify the area in the parentheses → ENTER
Example: What z-score corresponds to .975 area to the left? DISTR → #3: invNorm (.975) → ENTER = 1.96

L3 → arrow up so L3 is highlighted → L2 – Y1(L1) → ENTER

not in the labor force.
Assign 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 = employed; 5,6 = unemployed; 7, 8, 9 = not in labor force.

heights of women: MATH → PRB → #5: randNorm (64.5, 2.5, 200) → STO › →L1 will put the numbers in a list so
they’re more manageable.

æ5ö
Example: Calculate
ç÷ , the number of ways you can have 3 successes with 5 options to choose from:

è3ø
5 nCr 3 → ENTER = 10
Binomial P.D.F.:
DISTR (2nd VARS) → A: binompdf (n, p, X) → ENTER
n = # of trials; p = probability of a “success”; X = exact number of success desired
Calculates the probability in a binomial situation of exactly X number of successes.

Binomial C.D.F.:
DISTR (2nd VARS) → B: binomcdf (n, p, X) → ENTER
n = # of trials; p = probability of a “success”; X = counts successes up to this number
Calculates the probability in a binomial situation of up to X number of successes.

Binomial Histogram:
Enter # of successes sequentially in L1: L1 → 0, 1, 2, ....
Enter probability of successes in L2: L2→ arrow up so L2 is highlighted → binompdf (n, p, L1) → ENTER
Scan L2 to set the appropriate WINDOW (ZOOM 9 does NOT work)
Clear any equations in Y=
STAT PLOT → Histogram → Xlist: L1; Freq: L2
Set WINDOW: X [-0.5, ....], Y [ 0, ....}
TRACE, as sometimes bars are too small to see.

One Simulation of a Binomial Probability Distribution:


Define “failure” & “success” (usually 0 = failure, 1 = success)
MATH → PRB → #7: randBin (defined success, p, n) where p = probability of success; n = # of trials
Example: Simulate a person who is a 75% free throw shooter taking 12 shots:
MATH → PRB → #7: randBin (1, 0.75, 12) → ENTER

Multiple Simulations of a Binomial Probability Distribution:


MATH → PRB → #7: randBin (success, p, n) → STO › → L1 : sum(L1) STO › → L2 (1) → ENTER
[sum is in LIST (2nd STAT → MATH → #5: sum]
This simulates n trials & displays the number of successes in the simulation every time you press ENTER

Geometric P.D.F.:
DISTR (2 VARS) → E: geometpdf (p, n)
nd

p = probability of success; n = number of trial where first success occurs
