Simple Linear Regression on the Casio calculators.

The Casio calculators that are allowed in Heriot-Watt exams provide facilities for the calculation
of simple regression. Aditional features are described in the manuals which are available
from: http://support.casio.com/manual.php?rgn=2&cid=004
The instructions below summarise the regression calculations for four fx-85 Casio models - the
fx-83 models are used in a similar way. In each case, it is assumed that there are three pairs
(x, y) of values:
P (2, 4),
P (3, 5), (7,
P 6)2 P P 2
For these: x = 12, y = 15, x = 62, xy = 65 y = 77
x̄ = 4, ȳ − 5, Sxx = 14, Sxy = 5, Syy = 2, sx = 2.646, sy = 1.000
â = 3.57, b̂ = 0.357, r = 0.945, ŷ = â + b̂ 6 = 5.714
Students can use these to check that they understand how to use their own calculators.

Casio fx-85GT

Switch to linear Regression mode: MODE 2 2

This creates two columns labelled x and y.
Enter 2, 3, 7 in the x column and 4, 5, 6 in the y column.
