Mean, median and mode

The mean adds all values and divides by how many there are. The median is the middle value once the numbers are sorted, so it ignores extreme outliers. The mode is the value that appears most often. When a list has a few very large or very small values, the median usually describes it better than the mean.

Common questions

How do I calculate an average?

Add all the numbers and divide by how many numbers there are. For 2, 4 and 9 the sum is 15 and the average is 5.

What is the difference between mean and median?

The mean is the arithmetic average. The median is the middle value of the sorted list and is less affected by very large or very small values.

Can a list have more than one mode?

Yes. If several values appear equally often, all of them are modes. If nothing repeats, there is no mode.

Is my data uploaded?

No. Everything is calculated in your browser.
