How to Perform Basic Statistics on a TI83 Calculator

If you’re taking a statistics class as an advanced high school student or a beginning college student, the Texas Instruments model 83 graphing calculator might just be your best friend for the semester. In a few simple steps, it can spit out a plethora of accurate statistical information, and all you have to do is input the data you want analyzed.
