Plotting Variables
To plot variables, start with a problem that includes a Data&Statistics
application and lists created in the Lists&Spreadsheet application or the
Calculator application.
1. Click the Add Variable region near the center of an axis.
If no variable is plotted on the axis, the tooltip Click or Enter to add variable
displays.
2. Click the tooltip Click or Enter to add variable.
A list displays the names of available variables.
3. Click the name of the variable to plot.
Note: By convention, the independent variable is shown on the x-axis.
The default plot for one variable is a dot chart. The data points in the
default caseplot reposition to represent the elements of the selected
variable in a dot chart.
4. (Optional) Click the Add Variable region near the center of the remaining
axis to plot a second variable.
The default plot for two variables is a scatter plot. The data points shift to
represent the elements of both variables as a scatter plot.
5. (Optional) Repeat Steps 1-3 to choose additional variables to plot on the
vertical axis.
