3. Repeat step 2 for each new case. Example: Find Q(x) for x = 1.18 and x = 2.1.

Like standard deviation, covariance may be defined for either a sample (Sxy) or a population (S'xy) as follows: Sxy = r * sx * sy S'xy = r * s'x * s'y The following procedure finds the covariance of a sample (Sxy) and of a population (S'xy): 1. Press CLEAR . 2. Key in the y-values and press 3. Key in the x-values and press pairs. . . Repeat steps 2 and 3 for all data 4. Press to obtain the value of Sxy. 5. Press 1 1 1 to obtain S'xy. Example 1: Find the sample covariance (Sxy) and population covariance (S'xy) for the following paired variables: xi 26 30 44 50 62 68 74 yi 92 85 78 81 54 51 40 Keystrokes Display CLEAR 92 26 85 30 7.00 Total number of entries. 78 44 81 50 117
