Statistics aplet 10-17
Scatter Plot Two-variable statistics. 
The numbers below the plot 
indicate that the cursor is at 
the first data point for S2, at 
(1, 6). Press   to move to 
the next data point and 
display information about it.
To connect the data points as 
they are plotted, checkmark 
CONNECT in the second 
page of the Plot Setup. This is 
not a regression curve.
Fitting a curve to 2VAR data
In the Plot view, press  . This draws a curve to fit the 
checked two-variable data set(s). See “To choose the fit” 
on page 10-12.
 
The expression in Fit2 
shows that the 
slope=1.98082191781 
and the y-
intercept= 2.2657.
Correlation 
coefficient
The correlation coefficient is stored in the CORR variable. 
It is a measure of fit to a linear curve only. Regardless of 
the Fit model you have chosen, CORR relates to the linear 
model.
