Generally speaking, the 50g's standard menus are defined in ROM and can't be edited. As such, altering specific menus such as 96 (statistical submenus) or 103 (sums submenu) isn't possible.

....

I am absolutely not an expert on the 50g, but reading this reminded me of something that I had read in the HP-49g+ programming guide. I've looked for it again, and found it in the Development Library section, on page 6-7, under the heading "3.1 Extension Program". This describes how to create a library that can modify various system menus through the use of an "extension program". Three of the statistics menus are amongst those that can be modified in this way.

I've never tried this myself; I'm just mentioning it in case it is useful in the present context.
