You can use the command line to enter algebraic equations
explicitly as assignment expressions and distribution types. As you
enter the values on the command line, the values are also entered
into the paper tape portion of the calculator.
Procedure
- To enter algebraic equations, enter them explicitly as
assignment expressions. For example, i = 5*j + k
On
one side of the equation, enter a variable. On the other side, enter
a fixed value, a formula, or a distribution type. Named variables
are of Formula, Triangular, or Normal type. Named constants are of
Fixed type.
- To enter triangular distributions, use the form T(low,
likely, high). For example, numUsers = T(4500,6500,8500)
- To enter normal distributions, use the form N(mean, standard
deviation). For example, costPerUser = N(100,10)
Example
On the command line, type the following text:
x = 100 <enter>
y = 10 <enter>
z = x*y <enter>hmmm
