Calculate the mean, median, mode, and range of any dataset instantly with our free calculator, essential statistics for coursework, research, or general data analysis.

How It Works

Mean = sum of all values ÷ number of values. Median = the middle value when data is sorted (or average of two middle values for even-count datasets). Mode = the most frequently occurring value(s). Range = maximum value − minimum value.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I use median instead of mean?

Median is more resistant to outliers/skewed data, for datasets with extreme values (like income data), median often better represents the "typical" value than mean.

Can a dataset have more than one mode?

Yes, a dataset can be bimodal (two modes) or multimodal (more than two), or have no mode at all if every value appears with equal frequency.

What does a large range indicate?

A large range indicates more spread/variability in the data between the smallest and largest values, though it's sensitive to outliers since it only considers the two extreme values.

Why might mean and median differ significantly?

Large differences typically indicate skewed data or outliers pulling the mean away from the "typical" middle value that median represents.
