Exploring Linear Regression with TI NSpire CX

What are the three main objectives of this tutorial?

• Entering data, plotting a pie chart, and calculating the median

• Learning basic calculator functions, plotting a bar graph, and finding the mean

• Creating a new document, entering data, and saving the document

• Plotting a scatter graph, finding the line of best fit, and drawing the line of best fit

What is the first step in creating a new document on the TI-Nspire CX?

• Selecting 'New Document'

• Selecting 'Add Graphs'

• Selecting 'Menu'

• Entering data into the spreadsheet

Why should you avoid using spaces when naming columns in the TI-Nspire CX?

• Spaces make the names too long

• Spaces are not recognized by the calculator

• The calculator does not allow spaces in names

• The TI-Nspire CX sometimes has issues with spaces
