Statistics guide

Statistics Calculator for quick, reliable checks

Calculate mean, median, mode, range, variance, and sample standard deviation from a list of numbers. The calculator reports measures of centre and spread together because no single statistic describes every distribution well, especially when the data are skewed or contain outliers.

When to use this statistics calculator

Use it to summarize classroom scores, sample measurements, survey responses, and basic data sets. Use descriptive statistics to summarize the entered observations, not to infer conclusions about a larger population without an appropriate sampling design.

How the calculation works

Mean = sum ÷ count. Median is the middle sorted value. Sample variance divides squared deviations by n - 1. The sample variance uses n − 1 in the denominator. This differs from population variance, which divides by n when the entered list is the entire population of interest.

Variable explanations

Understand what each input and result means before calculating.

Values

Enter values carefully because this value directly affects the result.

Count

Worked examples

Follow realistic inputs through the calculation step by step.

1

Worked example

Summarize 1, 2, 2, 3, 4

  1. 1Enter the values separated by commas.
  2. 2The calculator sorts and counts the data.
  3. 3Mean is 2.4, median is 2, and mode is 2.
2

Worked example

See the effect of an outlier

  1. 1Enter 10, 11, 12, 13, 100.
  2. 2Compare the mean of 29.2 with the median of 12.
  3. 3The large difference shows why the median can better represent a skewed list.
3

Worked example

Summarize a list with no mode

  1. 1Enter 2, 4, 6, 8.
  2. 2Every value occurs once, so no value is more frequent than another.
  3. 3The mean and median are both 5, while the range is 6.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers to the questions users ask most often.

Does this calculate sample or population standard deviation?
The main standard deviation output uses the sample formula, which divides variance by n - 1.
Can I paste values from a spreadsheet?
Yes. Commas, spaces, semicolons, and line breaks are accepted between numbers.
When should I prefer the median to the mean?
The median is often more representative when a data set is strongly skewed or includes extreme values that pull the mean away from the centre.
Can a data set have more than one mode?
Yes. Two or more values can share the highest frequency. A list can also have no mode when no value repeats more often than the others.
Why does sample standard deviation need at least two values?
Its variance denominator is n − 1. With only one observation that denominator is zero, so sample spread is not defined.
