Statistics aplet 10-19
For instance, the data set (1,1), (3,9), (4,16), (2,4) would 
be plotted and traced in the order (1,1), (2,4), (3,9), 
(4,16).
Trouble-shooting a plot
If you have problems plotting, check that you have the 
following:
• The correct   or   menu label on (Numeric 
view).
• The correct fit (regression model), if the data set is 
two-variable. 
• Only the data sets to compute or plot are 
checkmarked (Symbolic view).
• The correct plotting range. Try using   Auto 
Scale (instead of  ), or adjust the plotting 
parameters (in Plot Setup) for the ranges of the axes 
and the width of histogram bars (HWIDTH).
In   mode, ensure that both paired columns contain 
data, and that they are the same length.
In   mode, ensure that a paired column of frequency 
values is the same length as the data column that it refers 
to.
Exploring the graph
The Plot view has menu keys for zooming, tracing, and 
coordinate display. There are also scaling options under 
. These options are described in“Exploring the 
graph” on page 2-7.
