Mean, Median, Mode Calculator
About Mean, Median, Mode Calculator
The Mean, Median, Mode Calculator helps you find the three key measures of central tendency in a data set. Whether you're a student or a data professional, this calculator simplifies statistical analysis and provides quick, accurate results.
Formula (Simple Explanation)›
Mean = (Σx) / n, Median = Middle Value, Mode = Most Frequent Value
• Mean is the average of all numbers. • Median is the middle value when the data is sorted. • Mode is the number that appears most often. Each gives a different perspective of the data distribution.
Example:
Input: Data set: 10, 20, 20, 30, 40
Output: Mean = 24, Median = 20, Mode = 20
Steps to Use:
- Enter your data values separated by commas.
- Click 'Calculate' to find the mean, median, and mode.
- The calculator automatically sorts the data and computes all three values.
- Use the results to analyze data trends or verify manual calculations.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between mean, median, and mode?›
The mean is the average of all numbers, the median is the middle number in a sorted list, and the mode is the number that occurs most frequently.
When should I use median instead of mean?›
Median is better when your data has extreme values or outliers, as it is less affected by them than the mean.
Can a data set have more than one mode?›
Yes, if two or more values occur with the same highest frequency, the data set is called multimodal.
Does this calculator work for decimals and negative numbers?›
Yes. The Mean, Median, Mode Calculator supports decimals, negative numbers, and large data sets.
What is the practical use of mean, median, and mode?›
They are used in economics, psychology, research, and everyday data analysis to understand data patterns, averages, and trends.
