Quick answer: descriptive statistics

Paste your numbers to see the centre, spread, quartiles and outliers at once. The data 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42 has a mean of 18 and a median of 15.5.

Overview of the Statistics Calculator

This statistics calculator summarises a list of numbers with over twenty measures: count, sum, mean, median, mode, range, quartiles Q1 and Q3, the interquartile range, outlier fences and any outliers (1.5 × IQR rule), sample and population standard deviation, variance, standard error, mean absolute deviation, skewness, excess kurtosis and root mean square, plus a frequency table.

Use the dedicated Average Calculator and Standard Deviation Calculator for focused work, then go on to the Confidence Interval Calculator or Z-Score Calculator.

How We Calculate

The calculator applies the standard method step by step.

  1. Sort the data and compute the mean, median and mode.
  2. Quartiles: Q1 is the median of the lower half, Q3 the median of the upper half (the middle value is excluded for odd n).
  3. IQR = Q3 − Q1; outliers lie below Q1 − 1.5·IQR or above Q3 + 1.5·IQR.
  4. Variance and standard deviation from the squared deviations (n − 1 for the sample).
  5. Skewness = m₃ ÷ m₂^1.5 and excess kurtosis = m₄ ÷ m₂² − 3, using central moments.
IQR = Q3 − Q1   fences = Q1 − 1.5·IQR, Q3 + 1.5·IQR

Statistics Calculator — Frequently Asked Questions

What does a statistics calculator do?

It computes summary measures that describe the centre, spread and shape of a data set.

What is the interquartile range?

The spread of the middle half of the data: Q3 − Q1. It is resistant to outliers.

How are outliers detected?

Values more than 1.5 × IQR below Q1 or above Q3 are flagged as outliers.

What is skewness?

A measure of asymmetry: positive skew has a long right tail, negative skew a long left tail, and zero means symmetric.

What is kurtosis?

A measure of how heavy the tails are compared with a normal distribution (excess kurtosis 0).

Why are there different ways to compute quartiles?

Statistical software uses several conventions. This calculator uses the median-of-halves method taught in most textbooks.

How is the statistics calculator calculated?

It uses the standard method: IQR = Q3 − Q1   fences = Q1 − 1.5·IQR, Q3 + 1.5·IQR The full working and a worked example are shown on this page.

How accurate is this calculator?

Decimal results use standard double-precision arithmetic (about 15–16 significant digits). Tools that work with whole numbers — big numbers, factors, bases, combinations — use exact integer arithmetic, so no digits are lost.

Can I use it for homework or exams?

Yes for checking your work and learning the method. The steps and formula are shown so you can understand the answer, but follow your teacher's rules about calculators in exams.

Is my data stored?

No. Everything is calculated in your browser and nothing you enter is uploaded or saved.
