HP Prime Spreadsheet App Tutorial 5: Spreadsheets and Histograms
Lesson 5
Objectives:
* Generate a
random list of integers for a column
* Store a
Spreadsheet column to a Statistics Variable
* Use a
Spreadsheet column in a histogram
Generate a random
list of integers:
RANDINT(length
of list, lower limit, upper limit). The
result is a list.
Steps:
1. Start by selecting the header cell for Column
A. Press [ Toolbox ], 5 for Probability,
4 for Random, 2 for Integer to call the RANDINT function. A list a generated, so no equals sign is
needed. Enter 100 for the length of
list, 0 for the lower limit, and 100 for the upper limit. The result is RANDINT(100,0,100). Press the soft key ( OK ).
2. Name Column A DATA. Go to the header cell, enter DATA, and press
on the soft key ( Name ).
3. Press the [ Home ] button. Select the D1 variable from the Statistics
1Var app by pressing [ Vars ], the ( App ) soft key, then Statistics 1Var, then
Numeric, and D1.
4. Continue by entering ≔DATA.
(colon, equals, DATA). The
complete command should be Statistics_1Var.D1≔DATA.
5. On to the Histogram: Press the [ Apps ] and choose the Statistics
1Var app. You’ll be taken to the Num
view and D1 should be filled in.
6. Press the [ Symb ] key for the Symbolic
view. Enter D1 for H1 and select
Histogram.
7. Press [ Shift ], [ Plot ] (Plot
Setup). Change the H Width to 10.
8. Press [ View ] and select
Autoscale. This Histogram is complete.
This
concludes Lesson 5. I plan to post additional
lessons in the near future.
