The Statistics Registers in Calculator Memory
The memory space for the statistics registers is automatically allocated (if it doesn't
already exist) when you press
/
or
-
. The registers are deleted and the
memory deallocated when you execute
¹
¡
{
}.
If not enough calculator memory is available to hold the statistics registers when
you first press
/
(or
-
), the calculator displays
. You will
need to clear variables, equations, or programs (or a combination) to make room
for the statistics registers before you can enter statistical data. Refer to "Managing
Calculator Memory" in appendix B.
