The Formulas
Mean = (x₁ + x₂ + ... + xₙ) ÷ n
Median = middle value when sorted (or average of two middle values if n is even)
Mode = most frequent value(s)
Range = Maximum − Minimum
Where x₁, x₂, ... xₙ are your data values and n is the total count.
Why Do These Statistics Matter?
Mean, median, and mode are the foundation of descriptive statistics, summarizing large datasets into single numbers.
Teachers use the mean for class averages, median for typical performance, and range to see grade spread.
Companies analyze sales data to forecast demand, set prices, and evaluate performance across departments.
Median home prices give a better sense of the market than averages skewed by a few expensive properties.
Frequently Asked Questions
The mean is the average of all numbers. Add all values together and divide by the total count. For example, the mean of 4, 8, and 12 is (4+8+12) ÷ 3 = 8.
The median is the middle value in a sorted list. For an odd count, it is the center value. For an even count, it is the average of the two middle values.
The mode is the value that appears most frequently. A dataset can have one mode (unimodal), multiple modes (multimodal), or no mode if every value appears exactly once.
Yes, the calculator accepts decimal numbers (e.g. 3.14) and negative numbers (e.g. -5). Results display up to 6 decimal places.
