Linear Models on the TI-83/TI-84 ~ Instructions and Troubleshooting

Before you start…


1. Be sure to clear any equations by hitting Y= and then
clear. 2. Be sure all lists are clear. Hit 2nd and the + key
(MEM) and select ClrAllLists. Then hit ENTER. It should
say DONE when it has done so.
3. You must also turn your Diagnostics on. Hit 2nd and the 0
key to enter the Catalog. Go down to DiagnosticOn and hit
ENTER twice. It should say DONE when it has done so.
4. If you have a TI-84 Plus you can also turn your
Diagnostics on by hitting the MODE button, look for
STAT
DIAGNOSTICS and hit ON.

To find a linear model and/or make a scatterplot…


1. Press STAT and Select EDIT
2. Enter your x-axis data in L1 and your y-axis data
in L2 by using the arrow buttons or the enter button.
Use the arrow button to move from L1 to L2.
3. If you don’t have an L1 or L2, delete all the lists
by going all the way to the top of the column and
hitting DELETE. Then rename at least L1 and L2
by going all the way to the top of the column and
hitting 2nd, the 1 key, and ENTER for L1 and 2nd
and the 2 key for L2. Be sure to never hit
DELETE to clear a column. Use ClrAllLists or
go all the way to the top of the column and press
CLEAR and then ENTER.

If you want to see the data in a scatterplot


follow the steps below. If not, skip to step #7
4. Press 2nd Y= and Select 1: Plot1
5. Make sure your screen looks the same.
6. Press WINDOW to enter an appropriate
domain, range, and scale OR press ZOOM and
select
ZoomStat (#9). You will see your graph.
Finding the Linear Model
7. To find the linear model (or regression), hit STAT
and select CALC (right arrow over)
8. Select #4 “LinReg” and press ENTER.
9. If you have a TI-84 Plus you may have a second
screen pop up. If so, be sure your screen looks
like the screen shot to the right. Then go down to
the word CALCULATE and press ENTER
(Continued on Back)

10. The screen should look something like the


1st picture at the right.

Your equation would be y = 0.27x +6.67

Your correlation coefficient (r) is 0.99.


Graphing the Equation and/or Predicting Y-values

1. To graph the equation, press Y= and select a


blank Y= and type in the regression equation.
Then press GRAPH.
2. OR select a blank Y=. Then press VARS 5 🢧🢧1.
Then GRAPH. This will graph the exact
equation. (see the 2nd picture at the right ~
RegEQ)
3. The graph on the screen will show the data points
and the linear regression line (see example at
right).

4. To predict or estimate with the equation you


can get a rounded estimate by just plugging your
rounded equation from Step 10 in manually to the
regular computation screen along with the value
you are looking for. You can find an exact
estimated value by entering your regression
equation like Step 2 above and look at the table of
values. If you use the table you can change the
start value by hitting 2nd WINDOW.

5. You could also find the exact estimate value by


entering your regression equation like Step 2 above
and use 2nd and the TRACE Button to access
Calculate VALUE (Choice #1). Enter the x-value,
press ENTER and it will plug the x into
whichever equation you have entered in Y1. The
value you enter MUST be within your domain
otherwise it will give you an Error Message. In
that case change your domain to make it big
enough to include that x-value.
