Analyzing data in a graph

Data analysis

In any display, you can view the statistics of data runs, including minimum value, maximum
value, mean value, standard deviation, and count (or number of points). In a graph, the area sta-
tistic is also available.

A graph also allows you to apply curve fits; draw predictions; and find coordinates, distances,
and slopes on data plots.

Viewing statistics in a line graph

Complete these steps to see the minimum, maximum, mean, standard deviation, count, and
area-under-the-curve of a data run:

1. If more than one data run is displayed, first select a run:

a. Touch the graph legend.

The legend enlarges.

b. In the legend, touch the symbol of the run that you want to select.

The red outline moves to the selected run.

2. Touch the Graph Tools button to open the tool palette.
