When you extract Web data, TI InterActive! creates lists in the
List Editor and places the data in those lists.
1. Click the Select button at the top of the browser window. The
browser highlights the table of braking distance data.
2. Click the Extract button. The List Editor is displayed, with
the Web data copied to lists.
3. Click the Save To Document button
to insert the lists into
the document. Adjust the list screen to view all columns of
data.
Now that you have the braking distance data copied into lists,
you can create a scatter plot of the speeds (x) against the total
stopping distances (y).

the keyboard, type
