STATISTICAL CALCULATIONS
Statistical calculations can be performed in STAT mode. There are eight sub-
modes within STAT mode. Press b 1, then press the number key that corresponds
to your choice:
0 (SD): Single-variable statistics 1 (a+bx): Linear regression 2 (a+bx+cx2):
Quadratic regression

The statistical data input screen appears.
After entering statistical data from the input screen, press _ or j
and close the input table. You can then check statistical values from the STAT
menu (; 8) and specify statistical variables.
Afterenteringthedata,press e. The input is finalized and the cursor moves to the next line. If data was not entered in an x or y, 0 is entered, 1 is entered in FRQ (frequency), and the cursor moves to the next line. · You can use H to enter X and FRQ (or X, Y, and FRQ) at once. in length are displayed in exponent notation.
Up to 100 data items can be entered. With single-variable data, a data item with an assigned frequency of one is counted as one data item, while an item with an assigned frequency of 2 or higher is stored as a set of two data items. With two-variable data, a set of data items with an assigned frequency of one is counted as two data items, while a set of items with an assigned frequency of 2 or higher is stored as a set of three data items. press_ or jand close the i nput table.
Data correction
Use l, r, u, or d to move the cursor and select the desired data. Press @ u or
@ d to jump the cursor to the beginning or end of the data.
Data correction Move the cursor to the data that you want to correct, enter
the numeric value, and press e.
Data insertion To insert a line in front of the cursor position, press ; T.
The initial values entered in the inserted data are 0 in x and y, and 1 in
FRQ.
Data deletion To delete the entire line where cursor is positioned, press @ y.
Statistical Calculations and Variables
The following statistics can be obtained for each statistical calculation
(refer to the table below):
Single-variable statistical calculation Statistics of 1 , 3 and the value of the normal probability function.
Linear regression calculation
Statistics of 1 , 2 and 4 . In addition, the estimate of y for a given x
(estimate y´) and the estimate of x for a given y (estimate x´).
Quadratic regression calculation
Statistics of 1 , 2 and 4 . And coefficients a, b, c in the quadratic
regression formula (y = a + bx + cx2). (For quadratic regression calculations,
no correlation coefficient (r) can be obtained.) When there are two x´ values,
each value will be displayed with “1:” or
“2:”, and stored separately in the X and Y memories.
You can also specify the 1st value (x1′) and the 2nd value (x2′) separately.
Euler exponential regression, logarithmic regression, power regression,
inverse regression, and general exponential regression calculations Statistics
of 1 , 2 and 4 . In addition, the estimate of y for a given x and the estimate
of x for a given y. (Since the calculator converts each formula into a linear
regression formula before actual calculation takes place, it obtains all
statistics, except coefficients a and b, from
converted data rather than entered data.)

Calculation Ranges
Within the ranges specified, this calculator is accurate to ±1
of the 10th digit of the mantissa. However, a calculation error
increases in continuous calculations due to accumulation of each
calculation error. (This is the same for y x, xr, n!, ex, ln, Matrix/
Vector calculations, , etc., where continuous calculations are
performed internally.)
Additionally, a calculation error will accumulate and become
larger in the vicinity of inflection points and singular points of
functions. · Calculationranges
±10-99 to ±9.999999999 × 1099 and 0.
If the absolute value of an entry or a final or intermediate result of a calculation is less than 10-99, the value is considered to be 0 in
calculations and in the display.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Notes on Battery Replacement
Improper handling of batteries can cause electrolyte leakage or explosion. Be
sure to observe the following handling rules:
before it reaches the service life stated in the specifications.
Notes on erasure of memory contents
When the battery is replaced, the memory contents are erased. Erasure can also
occur if the calculator is defective or when it is repaired. Make a note of
all important memory contents in case accidental erasure occurs.
When to Replace the Battery
If the display has poor contrast or nothing appears on the display when j is
pressed in dim lighting, even after adjusting the display contrast, it is time
to replace the battery.50
