The position of the graphically represented keys can be found by moving your mouse on top of the graphic. The function keys do not count as a row.

Turn your calculator on
Press The On Key: Top row - far right.
Clearing the memory
To get into stat mode, press The Data Button: Top row, fourth key.  Press The Menu Key: Row 2, Column 2.  Arrow down to DEL.  Choose ALL DATA (ONE DATA will only delete the last data point entered).  The screen will ask you if it's OK.  Press The Enter Key: Row 9 Columns 4,5.  If you get an error message because there was no stat data to erase, press The C L Key: Row 3, Column 6 It's red The C L Key: Row 3, Column 6 It's red (twice).  Either way, you will end up at a screen called data format.  Choose The One Key: Row 8, Column 1 (for one variable) or The Three Key: Row 8 Column 3 (for two variables).  You can now start entering data.  

 

Entering data

Please clear the calculator of all previous data before entering a new set. If you don't, the calculator will merely append your data to any data that is already there. 

one variable
When you clear the memory, you will see a screen called data format.  Choose 1 (for one variable).  Press lower right.  You are ready to enter data.  Enter the first number, followed by lower right.  Enter the second number, followed by lower right.  Continue until all the data has been entered.  
two variables
When you clear the memory, you will see a screen called data format.  Choose 3 (for two variables).  Press lower right.  You are ready to enter data.  The screen shows a card (labeled 1/1).  Enter the first x-value, then  lower right, followed by the corresponding y-value, then lower right.  Enter the second x-value, then  lower right, followed by the second y-value, then lower right.  Continue until all the data has been entered.

 

Calculating one-variable statistics
mean (x)
Press row 2, column 2.  STAT should be highlighted.  If it's not, arrow up to it.  On the right, you'll see a window with three choices. Press (x-vars).  You'll see a screen with many values including the mean (top value).
standard deviation for populations (s or sn)
Press row 2, column 2.  STAT should be highlighted.  If it's not, arrow up to it.  On the right, you'll see a window with three choices. Press (x-vars).  You'll see a screen with many values including the population standard deviation (third value).
standard deviation for samples (s or sn-1)
Press row 2, column 2.  STAT should be highlighted.  If it's not, arrow up to it.  On the right, you'll see a window with three choices. Press (x-vars).  You'll see a screen with many values including the sample standard deviation (second value).

Calculating two-variable statistics

r (correlation)
Press row 2, column 2.  STAT should be highlighted.  If it's not, arrow up to it.  On the right, you'll see a window with three choices. Press (reg).  You'll see a screen with three values.  The third is the correlation.
regression coefficients
slope
Press row 2, column 2.  STAT should be highlighted.  If it's not, arrow up to it.  On the right, you'll see a window with three choices. Press (reg).  You'll see a screen with three values.  The first is a, the slope.
y-intercept
Press row 2, column 2.  STAT should be highlighted.  If it's not, arrow up to it.  On the right, you'll see a window with three choices. Press (reg).  You'll see a screen with three values.  The second is b, the y-intercept.


Calculating combinations and permutations
combinations (nCr)
Press Top row - first key to get into real mode (out of stat mode).  Enter the n value.  Press row 2, column 1  (nCr).  Now enter the r value and press lower right.
permutations (nPr)
Press Top row - first key to get into real mode (out of stat mode).  Enter the n value.  Press row 2, column 1 (nPr).  Now enter the r value and press lower right.

 

Turning the calculator off
The off button is the same as the on button.  Press row 3, column 1; it's yellow upper right corner, and the calculator will turn off.

 

Worked Out Examples

In the following examples, we list the exact key sequence used to find the answer.  We list the keys by the main symbol on the key.  In parentheses we include a helpful mnemonic, e.g. (ex).


A: What is the mean and standard deviation of the following list of numbers?

15      16      20      21

1: Clear Memory   Top row - fourth key row 2, column 2 (D DEL) lower right (row 3, column 6  row 3, column 6 if you get an error message)
2: Enter Data  Top row - fourth key (if necessary, to get to data format. 1X should be highlighted.  If it's not, arrow over to it.) lower right lower right lower right lower right lower right
3: Compute the mean   row 2, column 2 (If you are not in STAT mode, arrow up to it) lower right (1 X-VARS) lower right
4: Compute the standard deviation (population)   row 2, column 2 (If you are not in STAT mode, arrow up to it) lower right (1 X-VARS) lower right
5: Compute the standard deviation (sample)   row 2, column 2 (If you are not in STAT mode, arrow up to it) lower right (1 X-VARS) lower right


    You should get a mean of 18, population standard deviation of 2.549509757, and a sample standard deviation of 2.943920289.

B: Find the linear regression line for the following table of numbers. Also find the correlation.

x 1 2 3 4
y 2 4 5 7

1: Clear Memory  Top row - fourth key row 2, column 2 (D DEL) lower right (row 3, column 6 row 3, column 6  if you get an error message)
2: Enter Data  Top row - fourth key (if necessary) (X,Y VARS) lower right lower right lower right lower right lower right lower right lower right lower right
3: Compute the slope of the regression line   row 2, column 2 (or row 2, column 2
4: Compute the y-intercept of the regression line   row 2, column 2
5: Compute the correlation   row 2, column 2


    You should get a slope of 1.6, a y-intercept of 0.5, and a correlation of 0.992277876.
    The regression line would be: y = 1.6x + 0.5.

C: Find 10C6 and 9P5.
1: Compute 10C6   Top row - first key row 2, column 1 (nCr) lower right
2: Compute 9P5  Top row - first key row 2, column 1 (nPr) lower right

You should get 10C6 = 210 and 9P5= 15120.
