second plots in the middle. When three are plotted, the first one plots at the top, the second
in the middle, and the third at the bottom.
¬
HIST (histogram) plots one-variable data. The xScl window variable value determines
the width of each bar, beginning at xMin . ZDATA ( GRAPH ZOOM menu) adjusts xMin , xMax ,
yMin , and yMax to include all values, and also adjusts xScl . ( xMax N xMin ) à xScl  47 must be
true. A value that occurs on the edge of a bar is counted in the bar to the right.
For the example:
xStat={1 2 2 2 3 8 9 5 6 6 7 7
4 4 9 9 9}
Window variable values:
xMin=0
yMin=0
xMax=10 yMax=5
°
BOX (regular box plot) plots one-variable data. The whiskers on the plot extend from
the minimum data point in the set ( xMin ) to the first quartile ( Q 1 ) and from the third quartile
( Q 3 ) to the maximum point ( xMax ). The box is defined by Q 1 , Med (median), and Q 3 .
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.
Box plots are plotted with respect to xMin and xMax , but ignore yMin and yMax . When two
box plots are plotted, the first one plots at the top of the screen and the second plots in the
Whiskers are the lines
protruding from the sides of
the box.
