Online Tutorial - Statistics on the TI-83

Entering Your Data on the TI-83

Note: The data will be stored into lists that are named L1, L2, L3 .... L6. If you look at the numbers 1-6 on the calculator you will see L1 above the 1 key, L2 above the 2 key, and so on. To access a certain list - L1 for example - press the 2nd key, then the 1 key.
  1. Press the STAT key, then the 1 key (or press ENTER since the option "Edit" is already highlighted).

  2. To clear data from a list, use the Up Arrow key to highlight the name of the list, press CLEAR, then ENTER. You can also clear a list by pressing the STAT key, then the 4 key, then type in the name of the list and press ENTER.

  3. Enter the first value in your data set, then press ENTER. Continue the process until all the data has been entered.

Sorting Your Data on the TI-83

  1. Press the STAT key, then the 2 key, then type in the name of the list (e.g., to type in L1 press 2nd followed by 1).

  2. To sort the data in descending order, press the 3 key instead of the 2 key described in step 1.
