Statistics (Continued) Mean 0 z (Data Mean)-Calculates the mean (average) of all the data values currently stored in the statistical registers. If you have entered data points with x and y values, press 0 z to display the mean of the y values; then press w to display the mean of the x values. Standard Deviation The 0 y and 0 x key sequences calculate the standard deviation of the data values in the statistical registers. If you entered data points with x and y values, press 0 y or 0 x to display the standard deviation of the y values; then press w to display the standard deviation of the x values. 0 y ("Population" Deviation)- Calculates the "n weighted" (or "population") standard deviation. 0 x ("Sample" Deviation)-Calculates the "n - 1 weighted" (or "sample") standard deviation. 28

Statistics
(Continued)
Mean
0
z
(Data Mean)
—Calculates the mean
(average) of all the data values currently stored
in the statistical registers.
If you have entered data points with x and y
values, press
0
z
to display the mean of
the y values; then press
w
to display the
mean of the x values.
Standard Deviation
The
0
y
and
0
x
key sequences
calculate the standard deviation of the data
values in the statistical registers.
If you entered data points with x and y values,
press
0
y
or
0
x
to display the
standard deviation of the y values; then press
w
to display the standard deviation of the x
values.
0
y
(“Population” Deviation)
Calculates the “n weighted” (or “population”)
standard deviation.
0
x
(“Sample” Deviation)
—Calculates
the “n - 1 weighted” (or “sample”) standard
deviation.
