Store the program in a variable called LXC. After storing this program in RPN
mode you can also use it in ALG mode.

To store a column vector into variable

ΣDAT use function STOΣ, available

through the catalog (

‚N), e.g., STOΣ (ANS(1)) in ALG mode.


Example 1 – Using the program LXC, defined above, create a column vector
using the following data: 2.1 1.2 3.1 4.5 2.3 1.1 2.3 1.5 1.6
2.2 1.2 2.5.

In RPG mode, type in the data in a list:

{2.1 1.2 3.1 4.5 2.3 1.1 2.3 1.5 1.6 2.2 1.2 2.5 }

`@LXC


Use function STO

Σ to store the data into ΣDAT.

Calculating single-variable statistics

Assuming that the single data set was stored as a column vector in variable
ΣDAT. To access the different STAT programs, press ‚Ù. Press @@@OK@@ to
select

1. Single-var..

There will be available to you an input form labeled

SINGLE-VARIABLE STATISTICS

, with the data currently in your

ΣDAT variable

listed in the form as a vector. Since you only have one column, the field

Col:

should have the value 1 in front of it. The

Type

field determines whether you

are working with a sample or a population, the default setting is

Sample

.

Move the cursor to the horizontal line preceding the fields

Minimum

, pressing the

@ CHK@ soft menu key to

select those measures that you want as output of this program. When ready,
press

@@@OK@@. The selected values will be listed, appropriately labeled, in the

screen of your calculator.

Example 1 -- For the data stored in the previous example, the single-variable
statistics results are the following:

Mean: 2.133, Std Dev: 0.964, Variance: 0.929

Total: 25.6, Maximum: 4.5, Minimum: 1.1
