Together, these measures describe the centre and spread of a data set at a glance.
How to use the Mean, Median, Mode and Range Calculator
- Data
Results update as you type, and every field accepts the units shown in its menu.
How it works
Each statistic is computed directly from the list you enter.
What each result means
- Mean = [Mean]([Data])
- Median = median([Data])
- Mode = [Mode]([Data])
- Range = range([Data])
- Minimum = min([Data])
- Maximum = max([Data])
- Count = count([Data])
- Sum = sum([Data])
Formula
Mean = Σx ÷ n; Median = middle value; Mode = most frequent value; Range = max − minWorked example
Inputs — Data: 2, 4, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10.
Results — Mean = 5.8571; Median = 5; Mode = 4; Range = 8; Minimum = 2; Maximum = 10; Count = 7; Sum = 41.
Frequently asked questions
What if several values tie for most frequent?
The first one found is shown; the data are multimodal.
Which average should I report?
Mean for symmetric data, median for skewed data.
What formula does the Mean, Median, Mode and Range Calculator use?
Mean = Σx ÷ n; Median = middle value; Mode = most frequent value; Range = max − min.
