I'm 24 years old but I've managed to avoid EVER having to use a graphing calculator! Now that I'm taking statistics in college, it was suggested that I purchase one. Any suggestions on a good one that won't break the bank? Thanks!
What graphing calculator is best for Intro to Statistics?
I would actually advise against getting a TI at all. For stats you will not be using any of the graphing functions. The only advantage is that you will be able to do things like nCr etc which will come in handy.. but there are other much cheaper calsulators that also do those operations. I have a Ti-31 that does those operations and it only cost me about 15$! If you are not planning on going any deeper into mathematics or serious physics don't waste your money.
Oh yeah, I should mention that I am a fourth year engineer and have made it through numerous stats and calculus courses without ever getting a graphing calculator. They are just not worth it.
Cheers
Reply:If it is a calculus based intro to stats get the TI-89 titanium, but if it isn't, go with the TI-83
Reply:The TI-83 by Texas Instruments should meet your needs and it is pretty much a standard calculator, so your text book will have directions for using it with your stats. It runs from $90 to $100.
