Hi,
I'm taking 3rd semester chemistry and we often have to take a series of for instance:
Absorbance vs. concentrations data.
Usually a series 5 experiments with the goal to have a spread sheet type answer. I use Excel or what ever I have handy just to find the y=mx + b value for "m".
I want to use my HP50G to accomplish this while in class.
I looked in the HP50G manual and there does appear to be a way to create trend lines but is not working for me. The examples are a bit more involved in the answers.
I have a feeling I'm doing something wrong in the chose of which menu to use... I know my inputs are correct and formatted correctly so either this isn't possible or as I said I'm starting out on the wrong foot.
here's what I've been doing according to the manual:
Stats > Fit data > Linear Fit
I enter the data in A column=x axis, B column=Y axis
Answers not in the format I need.
None of the other choses seem to get me there either..
is there a simple way to do what I'm attempting so I have this with me always?
thanks,
Whalstib
