[CHM 371] Stats on your Calculator

[Andrew J. Pounds]

Students -- I know that a couple of you were wondering how to complete 
some of the problems related to stats, calculus, and linear algebra with 
your calculators.

For the three types of calculators I saw in lab (TI 83/84/89) I have 
placed copies of the full TI Guidebooks on the class webpage in the 
REFERENCE section.  I know that the TI 83 and TI 84 manuals actually 
contain examples of how to compute confidence intervals using the STAT 
lists.

Also -- if you don't have a calculator and are looking for a cheaper 
(and extremely powerful alternative) to the TI calculators that still 
has solver and some calculus functions (no graphing), I would recommend 
the HP 35S.  They are around $50.  The big brother of this calculator is 
the HP 50G.  It has 2D/3D graphing capability and is over the top with 
features.  It costs around $100.
