Note:  The calculator retains the data you have entered until you exit 
statistics mode. The data is retained even if you turn off the 
calculator or it automatically turns off.   
Viewing Statistics Data 
Press [ DATA ] or [
ENTER
] in edit (ED) mode to view the statistics data 
you have entered. (If you press [ DATA ] the item number of the data 
appears briefly before the value.) 
Ex.10: View the data entered in Ex. 9. 
Method 1 
1.  Press [ 2ndF ] [ EDIT ] to enter edit mode. 
2.  Press [ DATA ] once to view the first data item.

3.  Continue pressing [ DATA ] to display each data item. You will 
see data 2, 5.00, data 3, 5.00, data 4, 5.00, data 5, 5.00, data 6, 
9.00, data 7, 9.00, data 8, 9.00 in sequence.   
Method 2 
1. Press [

] to display each data item. You will see 
5.00, 5.00, 5.00, 5.00, 9.00, 9.00, 9.00 in sequence. 
Adding a Data Item 
Ex. 11: To add a 9th data item, of value 10, to the Ex. 9 dataset: 
1.  Press [ DATA ] 10 
DEG ED STAT 
10. 
The calculator updates the statistics as you enter data. You can then 
recall the statistics to get : 
x
  = 6.56, n = 9.00, S = 2.74, Σx = 59.00, 
Σx 
2
 = 447.00 and σ= 2.59. 
Editing Statistics Data 
Ex.12: Change the value of data item 1 in Ex. 9 from 2 to 3. 
Method 1 
1.  Press 2 [ 2ndF ] [ DEL ] 3 
Method 2 
1.  Press [ 2ndF ] [ EDIT ]

] to make the change. 
5.  Press [ 2ndF ] [ EDIT ] to exit edit mode. 
Ex.13: Based on Ex.9, delete the first data entry (of value 2). 
Method 1 
1.  Press 2 [ 2ndF ] [ DEL ] to delete 2.

Delete Error 
If you try to delete a value that is not in the dataset, dEL Error 
appears. (Existing data is not affected.) 
Ex.14: Delete 7 from the dataset in Ex.9.
1.  Press 7 [ 2ndF ] [ DEL ]

Weighted Data Entry Method 
Instead of entering each data item individually, you can enter the 
value and the number of occurrences of that value (up to 255). The 
data from Ex.9 can be entered as follows:   
Value  Number of occurrences 
Alternative method 
2 1 
[ DATA ] 2 
5 4 
[ DATA ] 5 [ × ] 4 
9 3 
[ DATA ] 9 [ × ] 3 
where item 1 = 2, items 2 to 5 = 5, and items 6 to 8 = 9. 
Error Conditions 
The indicator FULL appears when any of the following conditions 
occur. Further data entry is not possible. Press any key to clear the 
indicator. Providing that you remain in statistics mode, previously 
entered data entries are unaffected. 
• 
You attempt to enter more than 80 data items. 
• 
The number of occurrences of of any particular data value is 
greater than 255 
• 
The product of the number of data items and the number of 
occurrences is greater than 20400.
