Statistical Graphs and
Calculations
This chapter describes how to input statistical data into lists, how
to calculate the mean, maximum and other statistical values, how
to perform various statistical tests, how to determine the confi-
dence interval, and how to produce a distribution of statistical
data. It also tells you how to perform regression calculations.

• This chapter contains a number of graph screen shots. In each case, new
data values were input in order to highlight the particular characteristics of
the graph being drawn. Note that when you try to draw a similar graph, the
unit uses data values that you have input using the List function. Because of
this, the graphs that appears on the screen when you perform a graphing
operation will probably differ somewhat from those shown in this manual.

18-1 Before Performing Statistical Calculations
In the Main Menu, select the STAT icon to enter the STAT Mode and display the
statistical data lists.
Use the statistical data lists to input data and to perform statistical calculations.
Use f, c, d and e to move
the highlighting around the lists.
P.251 •{GRPH} ... {graph menu}
P.269 •{CALC} ... {statistical calculation menu}
P.276 •{TEST} ... {test menu}
P.293 •{INTR} ... {confidence interval menu}

• The procedures you should use for data editing are identical to those you use
P.229 with the list function. For details, see “17. List Function”.

18-2 Paired-Variable Statistical Calculation
Examples
Once you input data, you can use it to produce a graph and check for tendencies.
You can also use a variety of different regression calculations to analyze the data.
Example To input the following two data groups and perform statistical
calculations
0.5, 1.2, 2.4, 4.0, 5.2
–2.1, 0.3, 1.5, 2.0, 2.4

kInputting Data into Lists
Input the two groups of data into List 1 and List 2.
a.fwb.cw
c.ewewf.cw
e
-c.bwa.dw
b.fwcwc.ew
Once data is input, you can use it for graphing and statistical calculations.
• Input values can be up to 10 digits long.
• You can use the f, c, dand ekeys to move the highlighting to any cell
in the lists for data input.

kPlotting a Scatter Diagram
Use the data input above to plot a scatter diagram.

• To return to the statistical data list, press Jor !Q.
• View Window parameters are normally set automatically for statistical
graphing. If you want to set View Window parameters manually, you must
change the Stat Wind item to “Manual”.
Note that View Window parameters are set automatically for the following
types of graphs regardless of whether or not the Stat Wind item is set to
“Manual”.
1-Sample ZTest, 2-Sample ZTest, 1-Prop ZTest, 2-Prop ZTest, 1-Sample
tTest, 2-Sample tTest, χ2Test, 2-Sample FTest (x-axis only disregarded).

252
While the statistical data list is on the display, perform the following procedure.
!Z2(Man)
J(Returns to previous menu.)
• It is often difficult to spot the relationship between two sets of data (such as
height and shoe size) by simply looking at the numbers. Such relationship
become clear, however, when we plot the data on a graph, using one set of
values as x-data and the other set as y-data.
The default setting automatically uses List 1 data as x-axis (horizontal) values and
List 2 data as y-axis (vertical) values. Each set of x/ydata is a point on the scatter
diagram.

kChanging Graph Parameters
Use the following procedures to specify the graph draw/non-draw status, the
graph type, and other general settings for each of the graphs in the graph menu
(GPH1, GPH2, GPH3).
While the statistical data list is on the display, press 1(GRPH) to display the
graph menu, which contains the following items.
•{GPH1}/{GPH2}/{GPH3} ... only one graph {1}/{2}/{3} drawing
• The initial default graph type setting for all the graphs (Graph 1 through Graph
3) is scatter diagram, but you can change to one of a number of other graph
types.
P.252 •{SEL} ... {simultaneous graph (GPH1, GPH2, GPH3) selection}
P.254 •{SET} ... {graph settings (graph type, list assignments)}
• You can specify the graph draw/non-draw status, the graph type, and other
general settings for each of the graphs in the graph menu (GPH1, GPH2,
GPH3).
• You can press any function key (1,2,3) to draw a graph regardless of
the current location of the highlighting in the statistical data list.
1. Graph draw/non-draw status [GRPH]-[SEL]
The following procedure can be used to specify the draw (On)/non-draw (Off)
status of each of the graphs in the graph menu.

StatGraph2 is for Graph 2, and StatGraph3 is for Graph 3.
2. Use the cursor keys to move the highlighting to the graph whose status you
want to change, and press the applicable function key to change the status.

2. General graph settings [GRPH]-[SET]
This section describes how to use the general graph settings screen to make the
following settings for each graph (GPH1, GPH2, GPH3).
• Graph Type
The initial default graph type setting for all the graphs is scatter graph. You can
select one of a variety of other statistical graph types for each graph.
• List
The initial default statistical data is List 1 for single-variable data, and List 1 and
List 2 for paired-variable data. You can specify which statistical data list you want
to use for x-data and y-data.
• Frequency
Normally, each data item or data pair in the statistical data list is represented on a
graph as a point. When you are working with a large number of data items
however, this can cause problems because of the number of plot points on the
graph. When this happens, you can specify a frequency list that contains values
indicating the number of instances (the frequency) of the data items in the
corresponding cells of the lists you are using for x-data and y-data. Once you do
this, only one point is plotted for the multiple data items, which makes the graph
easier to read.
• Mark Type
This setting lets you specify the shape of the plot points on the graph.

18-3 Calculating and Graphing Single-Variable
Statistical Data
Single-variable data is data with only a single variable. If you are calculating the
average height of the members of a class for example, there is only one variable
(height).
Single-variable statistics include distribution and sum. The following types of
graphs are available for single-variable statistics.

kDrawing a Histogram (Bar Graph)
From the statistical data list, press 1(GRPH) to display the graph menu, press
6(SET), and then change the graph type of the graph you want to use (GPH1,
GPH2, GPH3) to histogram (bar graph).
Data should already be input in the statistical data list (see “Inputting Data into
Lists”). Draw the graph using the procedure described under “Changing Graph
Parameters”.

The display screen appears as shown above before the graph is drawn. At this
point, you can change the Start and pitch values.

kMed-box Graph (Med-Box)
This type of graph lets you see how a large number of data items are grouped
within specific ranges.A box encloses all the data in an area from the 25th
percentile to the 75th percentile, with a line drawn at the 50th percentile. Lines
(called whiskers) extend from either end of the box up to the minimum and
maximum of the data.
From the statistical data list, press 1(GRPH) to display the graph menu, press
6(SET), and then change the graph type of the graph you want to use (GPH1,
GPH2, GPH3) to med-box graph.

To plot the data that falls outside the box, first specify “MedBox” as the graph
type. Then, on the same screen you use to specify the graph type, turn the outliers
item “On”, and draw the graph.

kMean-box Graph
This type of graph shows the distribution around the mean when there is a large
number of data items.A line is drawn at the point where the mean is located, and
then a box is drawn so that it extends below the mean up to the standard deviation
and above the mean up to the standard deviation. Lines (called whiskers) extend
from either end of the box up to the minimum and maximum of the data.
From the statistical data list, press 1(GRPH) to display the graph menu, press
6(SET), and then change the graph type of the graph you want to use (GPH1,
GPH2, GPH3) to mean-box graph.

(Graph Type) function.

The distribution of characteristics of items manufactured according to some fixed
standard (such as component length) fall within normal distribution. The more data
items there are, the closer the distribution is to normal distribution.
From the statistical data list, press 1(GRPH) to display the graph menu, press
6(SET), and then change the graph type of the graph you want to use (GPH1,
GPH2, GPH3) to normal distribution.
