How It Works
The three averages — mean, median and mode — each summarise a data set differently. The mean is the sum divided by the count, affected by outliers. The median is the middle value when sorted, resistant to outliers. The mode is the most frequent value, useful for categorical data.
This calculator finds all three averages plus the range (highest minus lowest). It sorts your data, highlights the median position and identifies all modes (a set can have multiple modes or no mode at all). Results include step-by-step working for each measure.
Example: Data set {3, 7, 7, 2, 9}
- Sorted: 2, 3, 7, 7, 9
- Mean: (2+3+7+7+9) ÷ 5 = 5.6
- Median: 7 (middle value)
- Mode: 7 (appears twice)
- Range: 9 − 2 = 7
