Manipulating one-variable statistics

Note

These directions are for entering data with the built-in statistical program.

We are manipulating one-variable statistics.
Sample data
Data Frequency
–2 10
–1 3
0 4
1 5
3 8

To begin:

  1. Turn on the calculator.
    on key

  2. Access statistics mode.
    stat key

  3. Select <4:ClrList> to clear data from lists, if desired.
    number 4 key , enter key

  4. Enter list [L1] to be cleared.
    2nd key , [L1] , enter key

  5. Display last instruction.
    2nd key , [ENTRY]

  6. Continue clearing remaining lists in the same fashion, if desired.
    arrow left key , 2nd key , [L2] , enter key

  7. Access statistics mode.
    stat key

  8. Select <1:Edit . . .>
    enter key

  9. Enter data. Data values go into [L1] . (You may need to arrow over to [L1] ).

    • Type in a data value and enter it. (For negative numbers, use the negate (-) key at the bottom of the keypad).
      negative sign key , number 9 key , enter key

    • Continue in the same manner until all data values are entered.

  10. In [L2] , enter the frequencies for each data value in [L1] .

    • Type in a frequency and enter it. (If a data value appears only once, the frequency is "1").
      number 4 key , enter key

    • Continue in the same manner until all data values are entered.

  11. Access statistics mode.
    stat key

  12. Navigate to <CALC> .
  13. Access <1:1-var Stats> .
    enter key

  14. Indicate that the data is in [L1] ...
    2nd key , [L1] , comma key

  15. ...and indicate that the frequencies are in [L2] .
    2nd key , [L2] , enter key

  16. The statistics should be displayed. You may arrow down to get remaining statistics. Repeat as necessary.

Drawing histograms

Note

We will assume that the data is already entered.

We will construct two histograms with the built-in STATPLOT application. The first way will use the default ZOOM. The second way will involve customizing a new graph.

  1. Access graphing mode.
    2nd key , [STAT PLOT]

  2. Select <1:plot 1> to access plotting - first graph.
    enter key

  3. Use the arrows navigate go to <ON> to turn on Plot 1.
    <ON> , enter key

  4. Use the arrows to go to the histogram picture and select the histogram. enter key
  5. Use the arrows to navigate to <Xlist> .
  6. If "L1" is not selected, select it.
    2nd key , [L1] , enter key

  7. Use the arrows to navigate to <Freq> .
  8. Assign the frequencies to [L2] .
    2nd key , [L2] , enter key

  9. Go back to access other graphs.
    2nd key , [STAT PLOT]

  10. Use the arrows to turn off the remaining plots.
  11. Be sure to deselect or clear all equations before graphing.

explain assimilatory nitrate reduction
Esinniobiwa Reply
Assimilatory nitrate reduction is a process that occurs in some microorganisms, such as bacteria and archaea, in which nitrate (NO3-) is reduced to nitrite (NO2-), and then further reduced to ammonia (NH3).
Elkana
This process is called assimilatory nitrate reduction because the nitrogen that is produced is incorporated in the cells of microorganisms where it can be used in the synthesis of amino acids and other nitrogen products
