Statistics aplet 10-15
Two-variable
Plotting You can plot:
• histograms ( )
• box-and-whisker plots ( )
• scatter plots ( ).
Once you have entered your data ( ), defined your
data set ( ), and defined your Fit model for two-
variable statistics (
SETUP-SYMB), you can plot your
data. You can plot up to five scatter or box-and-whisker
plots at a time. You can plot only one histogram at a time.
