xyLINE

is a scatter plot in which the data points are plotted and connected in order of

appearance in

Xlist Name

and

Ylist Name

. You may want to use

SortA

or

SortD

from the

LIST

OPS

menu (Chapter 11) to sort the lists before you plot them.

For the example:
xStat={1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10}
yStat=5 sin(xStat)

Window variable values:
xMin=0

yMin=

L

10

xMax=10

yMax=10

¯

MBOX

(modified

box plot) plots one-variable data, like the regular box plot, except that

the points are 1.5 ¹ Interquartile Range beyond the quartiles. (The Interquartile Range is
defined as the difference between the third quartile

Q

3

and the first quartile

Q

1

.) These

points are plotted individually beyond the whisker, using the

Mark

(

or

+

or

¦ ) you select.

For the example:
xStat={1 2 2 2.5 3 3.3 4 4 2 6 9}

Window variable values are
set by selecting ZDATA from
the GRAPH ZOOM menu.

You can trace these points, which are called outliers. When outliers exist, the end of each
whisker will display an

x=

prompt. When no outliers exist,

xMin

and

xMax

are the prompts for

the end of each whisker.

Q

1

,

Med

(median), and

Q

3

define the box.

Modified box plots are plotted with respect to

xMin

and

xMax

, but ignore

yMin

and

yMax

.

When two modified box plots are plotted, the first one plots at the top of the screen and the

Whiskers are the lines
protruding from the sides of
the box.
