Step-by-step

  1. n = 10, ฮฃx = 170.0000, mean = 170.0000 / 10 = 17.0000.
  2. Sorted values: median = average of positions 5 and 6 = 15.5000.
  3. ฮฃ(x โˆ’ mean)ยฒ = 1,038.0000.
  4. Sample var (nโˆ’1): 1,038.0000 / 9 = 115.3333; sample std dev = โˆš(115.3333) = 10.7393.
  5. Population var (n): 1,038.0000 / 10 = 103.8000; population std dev = โˆš(103.8000) = 10.1882.

How to use this calculator

  • Paste your numbers โ€” comma-separated, space-separated, or one-per-line all work.
  • Non-numeric tokens are silently skipped (so pasting from a table with labels won't break it).
  • Read mean / median / mode side-by-side. For descriptive stats use SAMPLE variants by default.

About this calculator

Five descriptive statistics in one tool, plus quartiles + IQR + range + coefficient of variation. Mean is the arithmetic average ฮฃx/n. Median is the middle value (or the average of the two middle values for even n) โ€” robust to outliers in ways the mean is not. Mode is the most frequent value; reported as "no mode" if all values are unique. Standard deviation and variance come in TWO flavors: sample (nโˆ’1 denominator, Bessel's correction โ€” the unbiased estimator when your data is a sample drawn from a larger population) and population (n denominator โ€” when your data IS the entire population). Use sample by default โ€” almost all real-world datasets are samples. The coefficient of variation (std dev / mean ร— 100) is a dimensionless relative-spread measure, useful for comparing variability across datasets with different units.

Frequently asked

Default to SAMPLE when your data is a measured subset of a larger population (almost always in real-world data analysis). Use POPULATION when your data is the entire population of interest (e.g. grades for ALL students in one class).
