Is there any other scientific (non-graphing) calculator that does cumulative/inverse normal, t, chi-square, and F distributions????
Thanks in advance,
Scott Guth


Gene: Hello Scott! Is there a reason to exclude the 10BII+ calculator? Business it is, but if you are not going graphing scientific, what scientific functions is the 10BII+ lacking that would really be essential to a non-business student?

As mentioned, it has the usual trig in degress and radians, hyperbolics, logs, exponential functions. It has chain and algrebraic logic. It has factorials, permutations, combinations. It has a very good regression model with 4 fits, has normal, inverse normal, t and inverse t distributions. Mean, weighted mean, standard deviation, correlation, and percent/percent change.

I think that makes a good scientific calculator. It does not have base conversions, but that's a pretty limited application, IMO.

But I am curious. What scientific function(s) is mission that the competition has that is essential beyond these?

thanks and good day.
