This page contains the programs that are used in the TI-83 companion manual to The Practice of Business Statistics by Moore, McCabe, Duckworth, and Sclove (W. H. Freeman and Company College Publishing). In this companion manual, problems from each section of the text are worked using either the built-in functions or programs specially written for the TI-83. The unequaled capabilities and usefulness of the TI-83 are demonstrated throughout. It is hoped that all students, teachers, and practitioners of statistics discover and make use of these capabilities. I hope you find the manual to be helpful.

The TI-83 manual was written by David K. Neal, Department of Mathematics, Western Kentucky University, Bowling Green, KY 42101 USA: david.neal@wku.edu.
