13% OffResidual Plot on TI-84 Calculator, A residual plot is an important tool for evaluating the assumptions of regression analysis.
It helps determine whether the residuals (the differences between the observed and predicted values) are normally distributed and if they exhibit heteroscedasticity (non-constant variance).
Residual Plot on TI-84 Calculator
This tutorial will walk you through the steps to create a residual plot using a TI-84 calculator.
Step 1: Enter the Data
Begin by entering your dataset into the calculator.
- Press the
STAT
button. - Select
EDIT
to access the lists. - Input your x-values in Column L1 and the corresponding y-values in Column L2.
Step 2: Perform Linear Regression
Next, you will fit a linear regression model to your data.
- Press
STAT
again. - Scroll over to
CALC
. - Select
LinReg(ax + b)
from the options and pressENTER
.
Once you have selected the linear regression option, press ENTER
again to perform the regression analysis.
You will see the fitted regression equation, which might resemble:
y = 7.397 + 1.389x
Step 3: Create the Residual Plot
With the linear regression model fitted, you can now create the residual plot.
- Press
2nd
and thenY=
to access the plots menu. - Highlight and press
ENTER
on the first plot option to select it. - On the plot setup screen, make sure the “On” option is selected and turned on (press
ENTER
if necessary). - Scroll down to the
YList
option. To input the residuals:
- Press
2nd
and thenSTAT
. - Choose
7: RESID
from the list to insert the residuals.
- After that, press
ZOOM
. - Scroll down to select
ZoomStat
and pressENTER
.
You should now see the residual plot displayed.
In the plot, the x-axis represents the x-values from your dataset, while the y-axis shows the residuals from the regression model.
Viewing Residual Values
To examine the actual residual values:
- Press
2nd
and thenSTAT
. - Press
7
to choose the residuals. - Hit
ENTER
again to display the residuals.

Scroll right to view the values for each residual associated with the corresponding x-values from your dataset.
Conclusion
Creating a residual plot on a TI-84 calculator is a straightforward process that provides valuable insight into the fit of your regression model.
Analyzing the residuals can help you assess whether the assumptions of linear regression are met, allowing for a more robust interpretation of your results.
