I Drawing a Scatter Diagram and xy Line Graph
The following procedure plots a scatter diagram and connects the dots to produce an xy line
graph.
1. From the Main Menu, enter the STAT mode.
2. Input the data into a list.
3. Specify Scat (scatter diagram) or
xy (xy line graph) as the graph type, and then execute the
graph operation.
Press , ) or )(QUIT) to return to the statistical data list.
Example Input the two sets of data shown below. Next, plot the data on a scatter
diagram and connect the dots to produce an
xy line graph.

I Drawing a Regression Graph
Use the following procedure to input paired-variable statistical data, perform a regression
calculation using the data, and then graph the results.
1. From the Main Menu, enter the STAT mode.
2. Input the data into a list, and plot the scatter diagram.
3. Select the regression type, execute the calculation, and display the regression parameters.
4. Draw the regression graph.
