Instructions for TI-83 for probabilities

In summary, when using the TI-83 for a probabilities and stats class, you can store data in L1 or L2 and use 1-varStat or 2-varStat to analyze it. You can also display the data graphically by turning on the plots and using X-list or Y-list. For additional help, reference works for the TI-83 can be found on the TI website at TI.com.

i used to have the same problem... what i will normally do is that if there is a lot of data, just store it in L1, or L2 and so forth, then do 1-varStat to get certain details about that list, or 2-varStat if there's 2 lines of data THAT are parallel to each other... you can also graphicly display the data by going to second "Y=" and turning on the plots and inserting X-list or Y-list as L1 or L2... once you get a hang of it, its pretty easy
