MESSAGE MEANING
ARGUMENT A function does not have the correct number of arguments.
DIVIDE BY 0 You attempted to divide by 0.
In statistics, n = 1.
DOMAIN You specified an argument to a function outside the valid range. For
example:
For
x
‡— x = 0 or y < 0 and x is not an odd integer.
For y
x
— y and x = 0; y < 0 and x is not an integer.
For ‡x — x < 0.
For LOG or LN — x  0.
For TAN — x = 90Ä, M90Ä, 270Ä, M270Ä, 450Ä, etc.
For SIN
-1
or COS
-1
— |x| > 1.
For nCr or nPr — n or r are not integers | 0.
For x! — x is not an integer between 0 and 69.
EQUATION LENGTH
ERROR
An entry exceeds the available space (80 digits for statistics entries or
47 for constant entries); for example, combining an entry with a
constant that exceeds the limit.
FRQ DOMAIN FRQ value (in 1-variable statistics) < 0 or >99.
OVERFLOW
|q| | 1x10
n
, where q is an angle in a trig, hyperbolic, or R4Pr function.
STAT Attempting to calculate 1-var or 2-var stats with no defined data
points, or attempting to calculate 2-var stats when the data lists are
not of equal length.
DIM MISMATCH Attempting to create a formula when the lists are not of equal length.
FORMULA The formula does not contain a list name (L1, L2, or L3), or the formula
for a list contains its own name; for example, a formula for L1 contains L1.
