Installing the Inferential Statistics and Distribution Features for Use
Use the assembly language program
Infstats
to install the inferential statistics and
distribution features directly into the TI
-
86’s built-in functions and menus. After
installation, the inferential statistics and distribution features are available each
time you turn on the calculator. You do not need to reinstall them each time.
When you run assembly language programs that do not install themselves into the
-
Œ
/
menu, their features are lost when you turn off the calculator.
All examples assume that
Infstats
is the only assembly language program installed
on your TI
-
86. The position of
STAT
on the
MATH
menu may vary, depending on
how many other assembly language programs are installed.

When sending a program
from your computer to the
TI
-
86, the calculator must not
be in Receive mode. The
Receive mode is used when
sending programs or data
from one calculator to
another.
Other files associated with
the assembly language
program (
exstats, exstats2,
statedit
) appear on the
PRGM NAMES
menu, but you
need not do anything with
them.
For assembly language
programs that must be
installed, up to three can be
installed at a time (although
the TI
-
86 can store as many
as permitted by memory). To
install a fourth, you must first
uninstall (page 3) one of the
others.
