Which screen is used to enter the dataset in the TI-Nspire calculator?

• Home screen

• Graph screen

• Spreadsheet screen

• Statistics screen

What is the first action to take when starting a new document on the TI-Nspire?

• Enter the home screen.

• Access the list and spreadsheet screen.

• Create a scatter plot.

• Perform a regression analysis.

What is the purpose of creating a scatter plot in this tutorial?

• To calculate the mean of the dataset.

• To determine the mode of the dataset.

• To visualize the data and identify the best-fitting model.

• To find the median of the dataset.

What trend is observed in the scatter plot that suggests a cubic model?

• A circular pattern

• An upward and downward trend with a curve back up

• A parabolic curve

• A straight line

What is the purpose of the 'Control + I' command in the TI-Nspire?

• To insert a new document.

• To add a data and statistics screen.

• To save the current document.

• To delete a dataset.

What is the first step after entering data into the spreadsheet screen?

• Save the document.

• Calculate the mean.

• Perform a linear regression.

• Create a scatter plot.

What does the scatter plot reveal about the dataset?

• It reveals a cubic pattern.

• It indicates a random distribution.

• It suggests a constant value.

• It shows a linear trend.
