How to Use Ti-86 Samples

The Ti-86 calculator offers users a method to calculate sample means and standard deviations for any given set of data. Using the calculator to perform such an equation can greatly increase the speed and reliability of your calculations. Since the data is stored in memory, you can also make changes to the data as you gather more of it without needing to redo all of your calculations to account for new or purged datum.
