Plotting histograms, bar plots, and scatter plots
Histograms, bar plots and scatter plots are used to plot discrete data stored in
the reserved variable
Σ
DAT. This variable is used not only for these types of
plots, but also for all kind of statistical applications as will be shown in Chapter
18. As a matter of fact, the use of histogram plots is postponed until we get to
that chapter, for the plotting of a histogram requires to perform a grouping of
data and a frequency analysis before the actual plot. In this section we will
show how to load data in the variable
Σ
DAT and how to plot bar plots and
scatter plots.
We will use the following data for plotting bar plots and scatter plots:

First, make sure your calculator’s CAS is in
Exact
mode. Next, enter the data
shown above as a matrix, i.e.,
