Calculator Help. . .
#1
Hey Everyone, just thought this info may be helpful.
I recently bought a new calculator for the Dantes Statistics test and was having trouble figuring out how to use the stat keys, :eek: but this website really helped as it actually explained what keys to push as you went through a problem.
Hope this helps.

Steve,

I believe the only restrictions are that it cannot be a graphing calculator and it cannot be programmable.

I personally am using the Texas Instruments BA II+. It is a financial calculator that has several important statistics functions too.

If you search for Statistics on this site you will see that there are several threads on it. One of them is very helpful in telling you what kind of calculators are 'legal' and which ones are programmable (you can't use a porgrammable calc)
There are some great free resources out there that I have been using and it's very encouraging.

The TI-30Xa is a legal, non-programmable calculator though I ended up using my trusty TI-55III semi-programmable with no questions asked. I brought the TI-30Xa just incase they said "No" to the TI-55. Not much difference though the TI-55 has Correlation calculations which is one of the longest formulas, though I can't remember necessarily needing the calculator for it. The test is designed to require only the cheesiest of calculators. The TI-30Xa has Sum of, mean, SD(both sample and population), permutation, combination, factorial, square and square root. It was only about $12 and came with simple instuctions. Learn to use it as you go, along with a fair understanding of the formulas. I wrote them on note cards and sifted through them several times a day to memorize them.

Let me know if you need any further info.
