Calculator Tips For Statistics
Calculating the mean ( x ), sum of the values in the list ( x ), sum of the
squares of the values in the list ( x 2 ), standard deviation (sample &
population), and a 5 number summary (low value, Q1 , median ( Q2 ), Q3 , and high
value)

Finding the theoretical probability of binomial (only two outcomes) INDEPENDENT
events where n = number of trials, p = probability of success, and x = the number
of desired outcomes.
2nd VARS/  binompdf/(n, p, x)
Ex. ~ Find the probability of getting 7 heads in 10 flips of a coin
2nd VARS/  binompdf/(10, .5, 7) = .1171875
