SINGULARITY
expression
in the
solve(
function or the equation solver
contains a sin
g
ularity
(
a point at which the function is not
defined
)
. Examine a
g
raph of the function. If the equation
has a solution, chan
g

g
uess or
both.
STAT
You attempted a stat calculation with lists that are not
appropriate.
¦
Statistical analyses must have at least two data points.
¦
Med

Med
must have at least three points in each
partition.

When you use a
frequency list, its elements must be
0.

STAT PLOT
You attempted to display a
g
raph when a stat plot that uses
an undefined list is turned on.
SYNTAX
The command contains a syntax error. Look for misplaced
functions, ar
g
uments, parentheses, or commas. See
Appendix A and the appropriate chapter.
TOL NOT MET
You requested a tolerance to which the al
g
orithm cannot
return an accurate result.
UNDEFINED
You referenced a variable that is not currently defined. For
example, you referenced a stat variable when there is no
current calculation because a list has been edited, or you
referenced a variable when the variable is not valid for the
current calculation, such as
a
