  2. Example T.1: Using a TI-83/84 Plus Calculator to Calculate One-Variable Statistics Use a TI-83/84 Plus calculator to calculate the list of numerical summaries for the following data values, which represent the breathing rates for a sample of adults (in breaths per minute). 12, 14, 15, 19, 12, 10, 13, 19, 20, 12, 23 Solution Begin by entering your data in the first list, L1. Press , then choose CALC, and option 1:1-Var Stats. Press . The beginning of the list is shown in the following screenshot.

  4. Example T.2: Using a TI-83/84 Plus Calculator to Create a Box Plot Create a box plot, using a TI-83/84 Plus calculator, for the following data values, which represent the breathing rates for a sample of adults (in breaths per minute). 12, 14, 15, 19, 12, 10, 13, 19, 20, 12, 23 Solution Begin by entering the data in the first list, L1. Next, go to the STAT PLOTS menu by pressing . Select option 1:Plot1; turn on Plot1 by highlighting On and pressing .

  5. Example T.2: Using a TI-83/84 Plus Calculator to Create a Box Plot (cont.) Then choose the second of the two box plot options. Next, enter L1 in the Xlist. Then press . You should see the box plot shown in the following screenshot. If it does not appear that way at first, pressing and choosing option 9:ZoomStat should correct the problem.
