Storing a List of Data
Analyze Storing a List of Data in Grade 10 math: calculate measures of center and spread, interpret data sets, and apply Saxon Algebra 2 statistical methods.
Key Concepts
Press STAT, select 1: Edit... to open the list editor. If lists L1 or L2 contain old data, highlight the list name (e.g., L1), press CLEAR, then ENTER. Enter your new data points one by one into the appropriate column, pressing ENTER after each value. This stores the data for graphing and analysis.
Press STAT 1: Edit... and enter the data { 5, 4, 4, 1, 2, 2, 3, 5, 7} into list L1. After filling L1, press the right arrow to move to L2 and enter the data {7, 5, 6, 3, 1, 1, 2, 2, 5}. To clear a list, use the arrow keys to highlight its name (e.g., L1) at the top and press CLEAR, then ENTER.
Think of your calculator's lists (L1, L2) as simple spreadsheets for your math homework. You'll use the STAT menu to input your $x$ and $y$ values, carefully entering each number to get them ready for graphing. It’s like setting the stage before the big show begins, ensuring all your actors are in place.
