Enter the data in a list
and then press
[STAT]. Use cursor
keys to highlight
CALC. Press 1 or [ENTER] to select 1:1-Var Stats. Press [2nd], then press the number key
corresponding to your data list. Press Enter to calculate the statistics. Note: the calculator always defaults
to L1 if you do not specify a data list.
Press [APPS], select FlashApps then press
[ENTER]. Highlight Stats/List Editor then
press [ENTER]. Press [ENTER] again to select
the main folder. To clear a previously stored list
of data values, arrow up to the list name you want to clear, press
[CLEAR], then press enter. Make sure the cursor is in the list, not
on the list name and type the data pressing [ENTER] after each
one. Enter all x-values in one list. Press [F4], select 1: 1-Var Stats.
To get the list name to the List box, press [

Select [STAT] then (1:Edit). Make sure the cursor is in the list, not on the list name
and type the desired values pressing [ENTER] after each one. For x and P(x) data
pairs, enter all x-values in one list. Enter all corresponding P(x)-values in a second
list. Press [STAT]. Use cursor keys to highlight CALC. Press 1 or [ENTER] to select
1:1-Var Stats. Press [2nd], then press the number key corresponding to your x list,
then a comma, then [2nd] and the number key corresponding to your P(x) values.

TI-84: Press the [STAT] key, arrow over to the [TESTS] menu,
arrow down to the [A:1-PropZInterval] option and press the
[ENTER] key. Then type in the values for X, sample size and
confidence level, arrow down to [Calculate] and press the [ENTER] key. The
calculator returns the answer in interval notation. Note: sometimes you are not given
the x value but a percentage instead. To find the x to use in the calculator, multiply 𝑝̂
by the sample size and round off to the nearest integer. The calculator will give you
an error message if you put in a decimal for x or n. For example if 𝑝̂ = 0.22 and n =
124 then 0.22*124 = 27.28, so use x = 27.
