Plotting histograms, bar plots, and scatter plots

Histograms, bar plots and scatter plots are used to plot discrete data stored in
the reserved variable

ΣDAT. This variable is used not only for these types of

plots, but also for all kind of statistical applications as will be shown in Chapter
18. As a matter of fact, the use of histogram plots is postponed until we get to
that chapter, for the plotting of a histogram requires to perform a grouping of
data and a frequency analysis before the actual plot. In this section we will
show how to load data in the variable

ΣDAT and how to plot bar plots and

scatter plots.

We will use the following data for plotting bar plots and scatter plots:

First, make sure your calculator’s CAS is in

Exact

mode. Next, enter the data
