HISTOGRAM REPRESENTATION  
OF A ONE-VARIABLE DATA SET  
Introducing the Topic  
In this chapter, you and your students will learn how to use the Sharp graphing  
calculator to represent a one-variable data set as a histogram. Typically, a  
histogram is represented on a horizontal (x) axis scaled according to the data,  
with a vertical (y) axis scaled according to the data's frequency individually  
(discrete) or within an interval (continuous). In each case, a bar is drawn with  
its width determined by an interval on the x-axis, and its height determined by  
the frequency of data within the interval.  
Normally, you should seek between 5 and 7 intervals or bars; however, there  
will be times you will need more or less intervals. Interval widths can be  
determined logically or mathematically. Remember, the object of viewing a  
histogram is to obtain or portray characteristics of the data's distribution,  
therefore the number of intervals may vary.  
Calculator Operations

OTHER GRAPHICAL PORTRAYALS  
OF A ONE-VARIABLE DATA SET  
Introducing the Topic  
In this chapter, you and your students will learn how to use the Sharp  
graphing calculator to represent a one-variable data set with a broken-line  
graph (frequency polygon) and a box-and-whisker chart.  
Typically, a broken-line graph is represented on a horizontal (x) axis scaled  
according to the data, with a vertical (y) axis scaled according to the data's  
frequency individually (discrete) or within an interval (continuous). In each case, a  
point is plotted at the coordinates (x, frequency) for a discrete distribution or the  
coordinates (interval right-point, interval frequency). Lines are then drawn from one  
of these points to the next one. Remember, when using intervals, you should seek  
between 5 and 7 intervals. Once again, there will be times you will need more or less  
intervals. Interval widths can be determined logically or mathematically. Remember,  
the object of viewing a broken-line graph is to obtain or portray characteristics of the  
data's distribution. Therefore, the number of intervals may vary.  
A box-and-whisker chart is a graph that consists of five points of interest. The  
25th percentile, 50th percentile, and 75th percentiles are each indicated with a  
vertical line. The three vertical lines are then connected together in order to  
form a box. Next, vertical lines are extended away from the box to the minimum  
and maximum. These are called the whiskers of the chart.

You can discuss with your students possible answers to questions such as the  
following based on information presented by the scatter diagram:  
1. Does the corporations revenue seem to be increasing by the  
same amount each year?  
2. What appears to be happening to the corporations revenue  
after 1995?  
3. Between what years was the corporations greatest growing in  
revenue?  
Method of Teaching  
Use Blackline Masters 7.1 and 7.2 to create an overhead for drawing a scatter  
diagram of a two-variable data set. Go over drawing the graph with the  
autoscale feature of the calculator and manually setting the viewing window.  
Next, use Blackline Masters 7.3 and 7.4 to create worksheets for the students.  
Have the students draw the scatter diagrams and then set the viewing window  
so that a pattern in the data, if one exists, can be recognized.  
Use the topics For Discussion to have students use the calculators random  
number generator to select certain students in the class from whom to  
collect data for drawing scatter diagrams and investigating patterns.  
Using Blackline Master 7.2  
The creation of a scatter diagram is discussed under Calculator Operations and is  
presented on Blackline Master 7.1. Press STAT , touch A EDIT, and press

You will see the following graph:  
You can use questions such as the following to discuss the information  
presented by the scatter diagram.  
1. As the year increases, is the per capita waste generated by the  
average U.S. resident increasing or decreasing?  
2. Does there appear to be a pattern in the way the per capita  
waste is changing as the year increases? If so, can you identify  
the pattern?  
3. What was the mean amount of waste generated by the average  
U.S. resident between 1960 and 1988? Give units with your  
answer.

LINEAR REGRESSIONS  
Introducing the Topic  
In this chapter, you and your students will learn how to use the Sharp graphing  
calculator to find the linear regression (best-fitting line) for a set of data points.  
A regression line is a linear model of the relationship between the dependent  
variable Y and the independent variable X. The model is denoted as Y = a + bX,  
where a is the Y-intercept and b is the slope of the regression line.  
A third value, r, is calculated for each regression. The r value is the correlation  
coefficient, which is a measure of how well the line fits the data points, and it  
-
-
will range from 1 to 1. If r = 1 or 1, then the line intersects all the data points,  
and the data points are said to be in perfect-linear correlation. A positive sign  
indicates a direct relationship (as X increases, the Y increases), whereas a  
negative sign indicates an indirect relationship (as X increases, the Y decreases).  
-
Values of r close to 1 or 1 are said to reflect a strong linear correlation, and  
values close to 0 are said to reflect the absence of linear correlation.

In this chapter, you and your students will learn how to use the Sharp graphing  
calculator to find several regression equations for a set of data points and then  
determine the model of "best fit." A regression equation is a model of the  
relationship between the dependent variable Y and the independent variable X.  
Other regression models include y = ax2 + bx + c (quadratic), y = ax3 + bx2 + cx +  
d (cubic), y = ax4 + bx3 + cx2 + dx + e (quartic), y = a + b ln x (natural logarithm),  
y = a + b log x (common logarithm), y = a*bx (exponential), y = a*ebX (natural  
exponential), y = a + bx-1 (inverse), and Y = a*Xb (power). The a, b, c, d and e are  
calculated for each model in order to find the best-fitting curve (minimized error).  
A third value, r2, is calculated for each regression and is a measure of how well  
the equation fits the data points, and it will range from 0 to 1. If r2 = 1, then the  
equation intersects all the data points, and the model is said to have perfect fit.  
Values of r2 close to 1 are said to reflect a good fit, and values close to 0 are said  
to reflect a poor fit.

model. The exponential regression model even fits better than the linear model  
with an r2 value of .8553. The students should continue this analysis with the  
remaining regression models.

STATISTICAL TESTS  
Introducing the Topic  
In this chapter, you and your students will learn how to use the Sharp graphing  
calculator to perform several statistical tests. A statistical test assists in making  
a decision between two hypotheses. A statistical test contains five components:  
a null hypothesis, an alternate hypothesis, an observed statistic from the  
sample, a rejection statistic for making a decision, and the decision itself.  
The null hypothesis is generally a statement of equality, whereas the alternate  
hypothesis is a statement of inequality (, <, or >). Each of the five components  
of the statistical test will be identified in each problem addressed.  
Calculator Operations  
Turn the calculator on and press STAT to enter the statistics menu.

The data shown above reflects the number of wins for the Chicago Bears in each  
season since 1978 when the NFL went to a 16 game season. The only season left  
out was the 1982 strike shortened season. Test the alternate hypothesis that  
"da Bears" are a winning football team against the null hypothesis that "da  
Bears" are merely a .500 ball club.  
Set up the statistical test by pressing 2ndF QUIT STAT , touching E TEST,  
and double touching 03 Ttest1samp. The one-sample T test was chosen  
because we have one small sample and we do not know the standard deviation.  
If we had a sample larger than 30 or knew the standard deviation, then we could  
use the Ztest1samp command. If we had two small samples or did not know the  
standard deviations, then we would use Ttest2samp. If we had two large  
samples or knew the standard deviations, then we could use the Ztest2samp.  
All of these tests are for testing equality of a mean to a number (one sample  
test) or equality of two means (two sample).  
Set the alternate hypothesis to µ > µo by pressing  
hypothesis equal to 8 wins by pressing ▲  
ENTER . Set the null  
8
ENTER . The null hypothesis  
was set equal to 8, since eight wins would represent a .500 season. Set the List  
to L1 by pressing 2ndF L1 ENTER .  
Press 2ndF EXE to compute the statistical test. The following results will  
be displayed.

The first item on the screen, µ>8, is the alternate hypothesis of the statistical  
test. Supporting the alternate hypothesis in this case would mean "da Bears," on  
the average, win more than 8 games in a season and thus are a winning ball team.  
The null hypothesis is not shown on the screen because it is always the same as  
the alternate except it is an equality (µ=8). The second item on the screen is the  
observed statistic from the sample (observed t ). From it, the third item on  
the screen is calculated and it represents the decision statistic (p value).  
Typically in science, the .05 level of significance is used in making decisions.  
Deviation from this level of significance would need to be defended in a report.  
A .05 level of significance means that if our observed statistic from the sample  
falls in the rare 5%, we will reject the null hypothesis and support the alternate  
hypothesis.  
Therefore, if your p value is less than .05 you will reject the null hypothesis and  
support the alternate hypothesis. In our problem, the p value is .0482 which  
is less than .05. Our decision is to reject the null hypothesis that µ=8 and  
support the alternate hypothesis that µ>8. This test clearly shows that "da  
Bears" average more than 8 wins a season and thus are a winning football team.  
If the p value is greater than .05 you would support the null hypothesis that µ=8.  
The fourth, fifth and sixth items on the screen show the sample average,  
sample standard deviation and sample size. On the average, "da Bears"  
win approximately 9 games a season.  
Method of Teaching  
Use Blackline Masters 10.1 and 10.2 to create overheads for performing statistical  
tests. Go over in detail the five parts of a statistical test and the items generated  
by the calculator.  
Next, use Blackline Master 10.3 to create a worksheet for the students. Have the  
students enter the data points, compute the regression models, and overlay the  
models and scatter diagram. Use the topics For Discussion to supplement the  
worksheets.

Check the data you have entered and correct any errors you may find.  
The data shown above reflects the number of wins for the Chicago Bears and  
Green Bay Packers in each season since 1978 when the NFL went to a 16 game  
season. The only season left out was the 1982 strike shortened season. Test  
the alternate hypothesis that "da Bears" are a better (on the average won more  
games) football team than the Packers during these recent years. Each won one  
Super Bowl during this time. The null hypothesis would be that "da Bears" are  
merely equal to the Packers.  
Set up the statistical test by pressing 2ndF QUIT STAT , touching E TEST,  
and double touching 04 Ttest2samp. The two-sample T test was chosen  
because we have two small samples.  
Set the alternate hypothesis to µ1 > µ2 by pressing  
ENTER . Pool the  
ENTER . We pool  
standard deviations in the calculation by pressing ▲  
the standard deviations for the statistical test when the standard deviations are  
approximately equal. Statistical analysis of each data set showed they were  
nearly the same. Do not pool the standard deviations when they are subjectively  
unequal. Set the List1 to L1 by pressing 2ndF L1 ENTER . Set List2 to  
L2 by pressing 2ndF L2 ENTER .

The first item on the screen, µ1>µ2, is the alternate hypothesis of the statistical  
test. Supporting the alternate hypothesis in this case would mean "da Bears,"  
on the average, win more games than the Packers in a season and thus are a

From it, the third item on the screen is calculated and it represents the  
decision statistic (p value).  
In our problem, the p value is .0323 which is less than .05. Our decision is to  
reject the null hypothesis that µ1=µ2 and support the alternate hypothesis that  
µ1>µ2. This test clearly shows that "da Bears" average more wins a season than  
the Packers and thus are a better football team.  
The fifth and sixth values show the sample averages. On the average, "da Bears"  
win approximately 9 games a season, whereas the Packers win 7. The seventh  
and eighth values show the sample standard deviations are nearly the same.

The data shown above reflects the number of wins for the Chicago Bears  
in each season since 1978.  
3. Test the alternate hypothesis that "da Bears" are a winning football team  
against the null hypothesis that "da Bears" are merely a .500 ball club (8 wins).  
4. Set up the statistical test by pressing 2ndF QUIT STAT , touching  
E TEST, and double touching 03 Ttest1samp.  
5. Set the alternate hypothesis to µ > µo by pressing  
Set the null hypothesis equal to 8 wins by pressing ▲  
Set the List to L1 by pressing 2ndF L1 ENTER .  
ENTER .  
ENTER .

6. Press 2ndF EXE to compute the statistical test.  
7. The first item on the screen, µo>8, is the alternate hypothesis of the statistical  
test. The second item on the screen is the observed statistic from the sample.  
The third item on the screen is the decision statistic or p value.  
8. The p value is .0482, which is less than .05. Our decision is to reject the null  
hypothesis that µo=8 and support the alternate hypothesis that µo>8. This  
test clearly shows that "da Bears" average more than 8 wins a season and  
thus are a winning football team. The fourth item shows that on the average,  
"da Bears" win approximately 9 games a season.

5. The first item on the screen, µ1>µ2, is the alternate hypothesis of the statistical  
test. The second item is the observed statistic from the sample . The third  
item is decision statistic or p value. In our problem, the p value is .0323 which  
is less than .05. Our decision is to reject the null hypothesis that µ1=µ2 and  
support the alternate hypothesis that µ1>µ2. This test clearly shows that  
"da Bears" average more wins a season than the Packers and thus are a better  
football team. The fifth and sixth values show on the average, "da Bears" win  
approximately 9 games a season, whereas the Packers win 7.
