Nope, that won't do it, I'm afraid. You need a cable with some active circuitry in it, which the community calls a SilverLink and for which TI has a much more annoying name: https://www.amazon.com/Texas-Instruments-94327-Graphlink-USB/dp/B00006BXBS/
I hope you're able to stop Amazon in its tracks! If you have more questions, there are forums out there with much lower latency than Reddit specifically for graphing calculators. As you can see from my flair, I'm notably biased, but I like Cemetech (there's also CodeWalrus, Omnimaga, TI-Planet for our French friends, and ticalc.org).
You'll want a so-called SilverLink like this one, and either the TI-Connect (not TI Connect CE) software or the open-source TILP-II software.
Incidentally, you can also type TI-BASIC on a computer using tools like SourceCoder 3, and test them on an on-computer emulator like WabbitEmu, jsTIfied, etc. (SourceCoder has jsTIfied built-in for testing programs). You'd just need to dump a ROM from your calculator.
SanDisk works fine. Your adapter setup does not. You can't chain USB cables like that - there are specific pins that tell which is the host/device.
The word you are looking for is OTG; here is an example of a cable that would work: https://www.amazon.com/SaiTech-Mini-USB-OTG-Digital/dp/B00VWTD7CQ
Really the only guide i could find in english is here

It apparently works completely with khicas. It's a shame i dont know french, others have created a .tns document full of useful commands and helpful advice but it's all in french.
Nope. This is what you need. Kinda spendy, but works on most of the TI calculators from the era
Also, I've seen 40 dollars calculators on amazon that can do that, and I don't think they have a computer algebra system. Like this one: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B007W7SGLO/ .
I use wabbiteumu (TI-84 Plus C SE) for my phone (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Revsoft.Wabbitemu). On desktop I use CEmu for the TI-84 Plus CE (https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/470/47076.html)
I would try this from amazon

Users are reporting it works well with the TI89. Plus, it's from amazon, so you can return it if needed (maybe use it to make sure it works, then keep it or return it?). That way, you can at least test it out to make sure and you won't be out of any money.
Happily! It's this one: https://www.amazon.com/Programming-TI-83-Plus-TI-84/dp/1617290777/ To ameliorate the plug for something that costs money (even though I poured a year and a half of blood, sweat, and tears into it), it's worth mentioning for you and others that my publisher has a couple of chapters from the book available for free on their website: https://www.manning.com/books/programming-the-ti-83-plus-ti-84-plus
Besides coming on Cemetech and introducing yourself, since it's a great place (with friendly volunteers) to ask questions, I'll also biasedly recommend "Programming the TI-83 Plus/TI-84 Plus", an approachable book I wrote about learning calculator programming: http://www.amazon.com/dp/1617290777/
Your example sound like you want to do binning of samples; you can definitely not enter ranges on the calculator. Although it sounds like your questions are a little broad for a single Reddit answer, might I be so bold as to do some self-promotion of "Using the TI-84 Plus", 2nd Edition, which explains statistics on the TI-84 Plus CE (and basically everything else you can do with it) in great detail: http://www.amazon.com/dp/1617293156
Try this: 1. Go to the Solver: [MATH][UP] (to go to the bottom of the menu, and the Solver... option), [ENTER]. 2a. If you have a color calculator with E1: and E2: fields in the Solver menu, enter Y1 (from [VARS]->YVars->1:Function->1:Y1 as E1:, and the Y value you want to find in E2:. 2b. If you have a monochrome calculator a 0= prompt, enter Y1-(the Y value you want to find). 3. Press [ENTER], choose an X that you think is near the Y you want, and press [ENTER] again. The calculator should think for a minute, then return a precise X.
Hope this helps. If my Solver... instructions are a little unclear, there's a good guide in section 2.6 of "Using the TI-84 Plus" (http://www.amazon.com/dp/1617293156/)
