column 2 (r1c2). Then enter the
corresponding number of
buildings.

moves the cursor to the top of
the page. After typing data for a cell,
you can press

or
D
to enter the
data and move the cursor down one
cell. Pressing
C
enters the data and
moves the cursor up one cell.

5. Move the cursor to row 1 in
column 1 (r1c1). Sort the data in
ascending order of population.
This sorts column 1 and then adjusts
all other columns so that they retain
the same order as column 1. This is
critical for maintaining the
relationships between columns of
data.
To sort column 1, the cursor can be
anywhere in column 1. This example

Preview of Statistics and Data Plots
Based on a sample of seven cities, enter data that relates population to the number of
buildings with more than 12 stories. Using Median-Median and linear regression
calculations, find and plot equations to fit the data. For each regression equation, predict
how many buildings of more than 12 stories you would expect in a city of 300,000 people.
