CALC 1 Curve Fitting: Inverse (INV) Example

y = m/x + b

Calculate the correlation, m factor, b factor and estimates for the following data:

X	Y
2	33
3	42
4	54
5	64
6	77

 

Data Entry

Value	Key	Display	Description
	shift C lists	0	Clears the x and y lists.
33	= (CHN, ALG) or ENTER (CHN, RPN)	33.0000	Enters y value.
2	Σ+	1.0000	Append x and y to lists x and y.
42	= or ENTER	42.0000	Enters y value.
3	Σ+	2.0000	Append x and y to lists x and y.
