Midrange Calculator
Enter numbers to find the midpoint between the minimum and maximum values.
Minimum
12.0000
Maximum
30.0000
Midrange
21.0000
How to Use This Calculator
- Enter numeric data separated by spaces or commas.
- Review the minimum, maximum, and midrange values.
- Use the midrange as a quick estimate of center in symmetric distributions.
- Combine with median or mean for a fuller picture of central tendency.
Formula
Midrange = (minimum + maximum) / 2
This simple formula offers a quick estimate of central value based solely on extremes.
Full Description
Midrange captures the midpoint of a dataset\'s span. Though sensitive to outliers, it complements mean and median by emphasizing extremes. It is useful in rapid assessments or when data are symmetric and free from outliers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is midrange resistant to outliers?
No. Because it relies on extremes, outliers strongly influence the midrange.
How many values are needed?
At least one value (both min and max equal that value). A single point yields midrange equal to that point.
Can I use midrange as mean?
Midrange approximates the center but should be paired with other metrics (mean, median) for accuracy.
Does order matter?
No. We compute min and max directly; order of inputs is irrelevant.
