R(t)

The cumulative fraction of the standard normal
distribution that lies between t and 0. R(t) = 1 – t.

Q(t)

The cumulative fraction of the standard normal
distribution that is greater than t. Q(t) = | 0.5– t |.

Regression Calculation

There are six regression options on the REG menu:

LIN

Linear Regression

y = a + b x

LOG

Logarithmic Regression

y = a + b lnx

e ^

Exponential Regression

y = a • e

bx

PWR Power Regression

y = a • x

b

INV

Inverse Regression

y = a +

QUAD Quadratic Regression

y = a + b x + c x

See Example 47~48.
1. Select a regression option on the REG menu and press [

] .

2. Press [ DATA ], select DATA-INPUT from the menu and press [

].

3. Enter

an

x value and press [ ].

4. Enter the corresponding y value and press [ ].

5. To enter more data, repeat from step 3.
6. Press [ 2nd ] [ STATVAR ].
7. Press

[ ] [ ] to scroll through the results until you find the

regression variables you are interested in (see table below).

8. To predict a value for x (or y) given a value for y (or x), select the x ’

(or y ’) variable, press [

] , enter the given value, and press [

]

again.
Variable Meaning

a

Y-intercept of the regression equation.

b

Slope of the regression equation.

r Correlation

coefficient.

c

Quadratic regression coefficient.

x ’

Predicted x value given a, b, and y values.

y ’

Predicted y value given a, b, and x values.

9. To draw the regression graph, press [ Graph ] on the STATVAR menu.

To return to the STATVAR menu, press [ 2nd ] [ STATVAR ].
