Correcting Accumulated Statistics

If you discover you have entered data incorrectly, the accumulated statistics can
easily be corrected:
If the incorrect data point or data pair has just been entered and _ has
been pressed, press gFg^.
If the incorrect data point or data pair is not the most recent one entered,
key in the incorrect data point or data pair again as if it were new, but press
g^ instead of _.
These operations cancel the effect of the incorrect data point or data pair. You
can then enter the data correctly, using _, just as if it were new.

Mean

Pressing gÖ calculates the means (arithmetic averages) of the x-values ( )
and of the y-values ( ). The mean of the x-values appears in the display after Ö
y
is pressed; to display the mean of the y-values, press ~.
Example: A survey of seven salespersons in your company reveals that they
work the following hours a week and sell the following dollar volumes each
month. How many hours does the average salesperson work each week? How
much does the average salesperson sell each month?
