TI-83 Commands on a TI-89


Recommended Posts

I don't know where this should be placed, but I am curious about some things on my TI-89 graphing calculator. There are three functions which I want to use which can be done on a TI-83, but I don't know how it's done. Here they are with the way it's typed on a TI-83:

Random Integer: RandInt(1,6,50) -> Generates 50 integers from 1 to 6.

Random Binary: RandBin(3,.125,60) -> Generates 60 integers from 1 to 3 with a specified probability (0.125).

BinomPDF: binompdf(14,0.5,{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14}) -> Lists all the probabilities for certain devices.

I know I can generate single random numbers using Rand or RandNorm on the TI-89, but I'm not sure how those three above functions can be done on it with the multiple probabilities. Any information would be nice.

Feel free to discuss any other TI Graphing Calculators here. :)

Why don't you just write your own function?

randint(x,y,z)
Prgm
Local c
0 -> c
Lbl x
If c < z Then
rand((y-x+1)+(x-1) -> list[c]
c+1 -> c
Goto x
EndIf
list
EndPrgm

If I knew what devices were, or how that probability thing is calulated I would make on for them too....

While one the topic of calulators.... 89's rule! :D

Lol... duh! You don't actually put a '-' and a '>'... You have to use store.... Look at your ti-89... See the on button? Look at the button right above that. Press it. You get a little arrow. That's what the -> represents. :p

Btw - this program outputs the list of integers to a variable called 'list'. It doesn't actually say them. So you have to go into that variable to look at them.

Dumb me! I happened to use the Catalog function and accessed the Flash Apps section. The BinomPDF, RandINT, and RandBIN functions are all there! Here's how it should be typed for all of them:

TIStat.binompdf(number,percentage,{range})

TIStat.randBin(sample size,percentage,number of samples)

TIStat.randInt(low number,high number,numbers to generate)

    • I happen to try it today not knowing about the update and was happily surprised; it is great.
    • Hello, Hardware Support Applications are a special kind of Microsoft Store app and have to go through additional checks and certifications because they can communicate directly with their driver, which means that a vulnerability in one of them could allow an attacker access to kernel space memory through the HSA ←→ device driver interface.  In other words, a BYOVD (bring your won vulnerable driver) attack, but with the HSA being used as an extra step. Remember, the Microsoft Store is strategic to Microsoft's long-term goals: they see it as the means to get the same 30% of every application sale that Apple and Google get through their stores, which is why it has been a fixture of Windows since Windows 8 was introduced in 2012 despite a low adoption rate.  Microsoft cannot afford to have anyone get an app through their store which causes a security issue for their end users.  Even if the app was written by and uploaded to the Microsoft Store by a partner, it is Microsoft's name on the store, and they are the ones that will have reputational/brand damage if they allow something malicious into their store.

    • This is more from my childhood, when nickelodeon just launched and had to license shows to have something to air. Left a big an impact, but probably more emotion positive / childhood thing. Europe got the follow up season's decade's latter with the animation studio that did Air Bender but never licenses for the US. I miss the day's of longer intro's. Nier (PS3) Intro is epic, and was very unexpected.  PS1 Xengears was also epic and an amazing game.  
    • Sayan Sen, do you think one day an image of the Windows Vista desktop or the wallpaper could be used in the primary image of an article? (When I think of CDs and DVDs I think of that release of Windows and of earlier releases; it is the one that debuted IMAPI 2.0 and other features.)
    • Big fan of EAC Here's a good non-default naming scheme I found on the web (can't take credit) File Name Scheme - %albumartist%\%year% - %albumtitle%\%tracknr2% %title% Various Artists Naming Scheme - Various Artists\%year% - %albumtitle%\%tracknr2% %title% Also, I need test but there is a new flac.exe binary & dll you can drop in the folder to upgrade flac support. I did this pre EAC 1.8. EAC 1.8 did upgrade it to 1.4.3. Flac 1.5.0 came out this year. https://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/xiph/releases/flac/ I don't know how much of a difference / impact will make.
