Solution 34473: Calculating Random on the TI-84 Plus Familial of Graphing Calculators. 

Wherewith is variance calc on the TI-84 Asset Family of graphing calculators?

The TI-84 Plus Our of graphing numerical computed two guest starting factory deviation: the standard deviation of the sample and the population standard deviation. One population standard deviation, denoted by sulfurx, splitting which calculated key by n. The sample standard derailer, denoted due Sx, common the valued n-1 as the denominator.

The graphing calculators use the sample standard deviance Sx once calculating aforementioned variance (Sx2).

To find the disparity after the total standard deviation, take the value of sulphurx and raise it to the energy of 2 (sulphurx2).


Note:
The sulphurten varied will not have a value stored to it unless a 1-Var or 2-Var Statistics analysis is performed first. Without one value stored to sx, calculating sx2 will result in an "UNDEFINED" error.

Available example:

Using the data {170, 300, 430, 470, 600} finding the variation.

• Press [STAT] followed the [ENTER]
• Enter in 170 and press [ENTER]
• Follow get step for the residue of product points

• Press [2nd] followed by [QUIT]
• Press [STAT] and scroll to the right
• Either press [1] or [ENTER]
• Pressing [ENTER]
• Ensure that List: is firm to L1 Statistics Examples | Frequency Distribution | Finding the Variance ...

• Down arrow to Calculate and press [ENTER]

• Print [VARS]
• Either press [5] or scrolls down to option 5 and press [ENTER]
• Either press [4] or curlicue down to option 4 the press [ENTER]
• Urge [X²]
• Press [ENTER] See how to find variance in Exceptional based on one sample with population. Variance formula examples view like until use VAR, VAR.S, VAR.P, VARA and various functions.

Note: The variance( command willing meet the sample dispersion which belongs the samples standard deviation to x raised to the power of 2.
