Using the data in Data Set 1 on p. 184 as an example, here is how to do the histogram on the TI-86:
Step 1 Delete old lists: 2nd MEM, F2(DELET), select list to delete with cursor, ENTER
Step 2 Enter data to be plotted: 2nd LIST, F1({), [enter data separated by commas], F2(}),STO, L1,enter
Step 3 Set the STAT PLOT Options: 2nd STAT, F3(PLOT),F1(PLOT1), select: On, Type=F4(HIST),Xlist Name=L1, Freq=1
Step 4 Set the data range and class width and display the histogram: GRAPH, F2(WIND), xMin=30, xMax=55, xScl=5, yMin=0, yMax=9, yScl=1, xRes=1, F5(GRAPH)
For TI-82 and 83, follow the steps on 263-264 of the text.
