An introduction to HP apps

Suppose you are in Home view and want to retrieve the mean of

a data set recently calculated in the Statistics 1Var app.

1. Press

a

.

This opens the Variables menu. From here you can access
Home variables, user-defined variables, and app variables.

2. Tap .

This opens a menu of app
variables.

3. Select Statistics 1Var

> results > MeanX.
The current value of the
variable you chose now
appears on the entry line. You can press

E

to see its

value. Or you can include the variable in an expression that
you are building. For example, if you wanted to calculate the
square root of the mean computed in the Statistics 1Var app,
you would first press

Sj

, follow steps 1 to 3 above,

and then press

E

.

See appendix A, “Glossary”, beginning on page 581 for a
complete list of app variables.

Qualifying

variables

You can qualify the name of any app variable so that it can be
accessed from anywhere on the HP Prime. For example, both the
Function app and the Parametric app have an variable named
Xmin. If the app you last had open was the Parametric app and

enter Xmin in Home view, you will get the value of Xmin from the

Parametric app. To get the value of Xmin in the Function app

instead, you could open the Function app and then return to
Home view. Alternatively, you could qualify the name of the
variable by preceding it with the app name and a period, as in
Function.Xmin.
