Statistics Calculator provides a comprehensive dataset summary for any list of numbers. Paste your data in any format-comma, space, tab, or newline separated-and this math calculator instantly returns the mean, median, mode, range, variance, and standard deviation.
A toggle switches between sample (n−1) and population (n) variance and standard deviation. Use sample when your numbers are a subset of a larger group; use population when you genuinely have every value. The descriptive statistics engine parses negative numbers, decimals, and scientific notation accurately.
Use sample (divide by n−1) when your numbers are a subset drawn from a larger population - almost all real-world data analysis. Use population (divide by n) only when you have literally every member of the group, e.g. all students in one specific class.
When all values are unique, the mode is reported as "no mode". When two or more values tie for highest frequency, every tied value is listed (the dataset is bimodal, trimodal, etc.).
Standard JavaScript Number parsing applies. So 1.5, -0.003, 1e6, and 2.5E-4 all parse correctly. Localised numbers (1,5 for one-and-a-half, used in many European locales) are not - switch to dot decimal or use the comma as a separator only.
For even-length data the median is the mean of the two middle values, not just the lower one. So the median of [1, 2, 3, 4] is 2.5, not 2 or 3.
