Using a Calculator for Statistics

Casio fx-82MS
Mean and Standard deviation
1. Turn calculator on! [ON]
2. Put into Statistical Mode [MODE][2]
3. Clear the statistical memory [SHIFT][CLR][1][=]

([CLR] is next to [ON])

[STAT CLEAR shows on the screen you can enter data now]
(Clear the statistical memory each time you have a new data set to work with
very important!)

4. To enter data key in each piece of data then press [M+]

For example, to enter (18, 23, 20, 21, 24, 23, 21, 21, 15, 19, 24)
18 [M+] 23 [M+] 20 [M+] 21 [M+] 24 [M+] 23 [M+] 21 [M+] 21 [M+] 15 [M+] 19 [M+] 24
[M+]
5. n (the number of pieces of data) is shown on the screen
6. To find the mean ( x ): [SHIFT][2][1][=]

(11)
(20.82 (2dp))

7. To find the standard deviation:

[SHIFT][2][2][=] () if the data is from a population
[SHIFT][2][3][=] (s or n 1 ) if the data is from a sample

(2.62 (2dp))
(2.75 (2dp))

8. To enter grouped data: key in each piece of data then press [SHIFT] [,] frequency
[M+]
([,] is on the left of [M+])
For example
Frequency Table for the number of faults in a component
Number of Faults
Frequency
0
28
1
11
2
4
0[SHIFT][,]28[M+]

1[SHIFT][,]11[M+]

2[SHIFT][,]4[M+]

For this data n = 43, mean ( x )= 0.44, sample standard deviation (s or n 1 ) = 0.67
2
To find x , x, or n; press [SHIFT] [1] then choose the appropriate statistic

Correlation / Linear Regression Calculations

1. Turn calculator on! [ON]
2. Put into Regression Mode [MODE][3]
3. Choose linear regression [1]
4. Clear the statistical memory [SHIFT][MODE] [=] ([CLR] is next to [ON])
(do this each time you have a new data set to work with very important!)
5. To enter data, key in x variable [,] y variable [M+]
([,] is on the left of [M+])
For example, to enter data in this table
x variable
5
8
12

y variable
100
118
124

5 [,]100 [M+] 8 [,] 118 [M+] 12 [,] 124 [M+]

For all regression statistics key [SHIFT][2] S-VAR
When you press this key you may not be able to see what you require you
must scroll along with the big replay key in the centre of the calculator to see
the statistic before you key in its number
You must key [AC] between each statistic
6. To find r (the correlation co-efficient): [SHIFT] [2] [3] [=]

(0.935)

7. To find r (the co-efficient of determination) square r

(0.874)

8. To find the linear regression equation y = a + bx

[SHIFT] [2 ] [1] [=] for a
[SHIFT] [2] [2] [=] for b

(86.297)
(3.324)

9. To predict y from your regression equation: y

Key in x value say [9] and then [SHIFT] [2] scroll [2]

[=]
(If x = 9, y = 116.2)
