Input this data example for L1 and L2 into the Stat List Editor.

Graph the scatter plot:

  2. Press 1 to edit Plot1.
  3. Press = to turn on Plot1.
  4. Press the down arrow key ≥, then press = to select the scatter plot graph type.
  5. Press the down arrow key ≥, then press a, and then press Õ to set XLIST.
