Calculating the mean and standard deviation on a calculator
The following commands show how to calculate the mean and standard deviation by using the STAT mode on a CASIO fx-83 GT PLUS (the procedure is similar for other CASIO models).
Enter the data
? Press Mode (top right corner); ? then press 2 for STAT mode; ? then press 1 corresponding to the 1-Var option.
This should bring up a table with one column headed x and the numbers 1,2,3 down the lefthand side. To enter each data point, input its value followed by the = sign. For example, if the data are
16, 52, 0, 6, 10, 0, 21
enter:
? 16 = 52 = 0 = 6 = 10 = 0 = 21 ? To finish entering the data press the AC button.
Calculating numerical summaries
? Press SHIFT followed by 1 to select STAT mode; ? then select the Var option which is number 4 on the fx-83 GT PLUS but number 5 on
some older models; ? there should be four options; 1 is the sample size n; 2 is the sample mean x?; and 4 is the
sample standard deviation s; ? for example, press 4 (corresponding to sx for the sample standard deviation), then press
= to get the answer.
Note that you need to repeat the process under for each numerical summary.
You should get 15 for the mean, and 18.083 (to three decimal places) for the standard deviation; these match up with what we calculated in Examples 1 and 5 in Chapter 3.
