How to Use This Calculator
- Enter the dataset using spaces or commas to separate values.
- Review mean, median, mode, and the minimum/maximum information.
- Use the results to summarize distribution center for reports or comparisons.
- Combine with dispersion measures to understand data variability.
Formula
Mean = Σxi / n
Median = middle value (or average of two middle values) of sorted data
Mode = value(s) with highest frequency
Each measure offers a different perspective on central tendency; choose the one best suited to data distribution and analysis needs.
Full Description
Mean, median, and mode capture central tendency for datasets of all sizes. The mean is sensitive to outliers, the median reflects central position, and the mode identifies the most common value. Comparing these metrics reveals skewness and distribution shape.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if multiple modes exist?
The calculator lists all modes with equal maximum frequency. If every value appears once, it reports “No mode.”
Can I use negative numbers?
Yes. The calculations support any real numbers.
Is median always robust to outliers?
Yes. Median is less sensitive to extreme values than the mean, making it suitable for skewed data.
Why do mean, median, and mode differ?
Differing values indicate skewed or multi-modal distributions. Analyze further to understand data shape.
