For the DSST Statistics exam, you need to know the formulas. Instead of giving you the raw data values and calculating a SD from scratch, you're given intermediate results. In other words, they give you the sum of the X, the sum of the XY, etc. You have to know the formulas to know which value to plug where.
You can use the BAII to enter in the numbers in a set and it will automatically give you the mean and standard deviation for a population and sample (and some other numbers, but I don't know what they were) which was really cool and would be a real time saver, but I'm definately gonna get the TI-30X II as my back up
