2.
Press or to set the cursor to trace the regression line rather than the data points.
The cursor jumps from whatever data point it was on to the regression curve.
3.
Tap on the regression line near x = 6 (near the right edge of the display). Then press until x = 6. If
the x-value is not shown at the bottom left of the screen, tap . When you reach x = 6, you will
see that the PREDY value (also displayed at the bottom of the screen) reads 2931.5. Thus the model
predicts that sales would rise to $2,931.50 if advertising were increased to 6 minutes.
TIP: You could use the same tracing technique to predict—although roughly—how many minutes of
advertising you would need to gain sales of a specied amount. However, a more accurate method is
available: return to Home view and enter Predx(s) where s is the sales gure. Predy and Predx are
app functions.
Entering and editing statistical data
Each column in Numeric view is a dataset and is represented by a variable named C0 to C9. There are three
ways to get data into a column, as follows:
●
Go to Numeric view and enter the data directly. See Getting started with the Statistics 2Var app
on page 245 for an example.
●
Go to Home view and copy the data from a list. For example, if you enter L1, tap , and then
enter C1 in Home view, the items in list L1 are copied into column C1 in the Statistics 1Var app.
●
Go to Home view and copy the data from the Spreadsheet app. For example, suppose the data of
interest is in A1:A10 in the Spreadsheet app and you want to copy it into column C7. With the Statistics
2Var app open, return to Home view and enter Spreadsheet.A1:A10, tap , enter C7, and
then press .
NOTE: A data column must have at least four data points to provide valid two-variable statistics.
Whichever method you use, the data you enter is automatically saved. You can leave this app and come back
to it later. You will nd that the data you last entered is still available.
