Step 1:
I'll provide a step-by-step guide for finding range, variance, and standard deviation on a TI- 84 calculator:

Step 2:
: Enter Data

- Press STAT - Select 1:Edit - Enter your data values into the L^1 column - Press ENTER after each number

Step 3:
: Calculate Range

- Press STAT - Arrow right to CALC - Select 1 -Var Stats - Ensure L^1 is highlighted - Press ENTER - Look for the range value (max - min) on the screen

Step 4:
: Calculate Variance

- $$s^{2}$$ is for sample data
- In the same 1 -Var Stats screen

Step 5:
: Calculate Standard Deviation

- Or $$s$$ (sample standard deviation)
- In 1 -Var Stats screen - These are the square roots of variance

Final Answer

- Range: Difference between maximum and minimum values - Variance: Measure of data spread - Standard Deviation: Square root of variance, indicating data dispersion Pro Tip: Always distinguish between population (\sigma) and sample (s) statistical measures.
