Understanding your data is essential. Our average calculator computes key statistical measures including mean, median, mode, and range from any set of numbers.
Statistical Measures Explained
- Mean (Average) - Sum of all values divided by count
- Median - Middle value when sorted
- Mode - Most frequently occurring value
- Range - Difference between highest and lowest values
When to Use Each Measure
Use mean for normally distributed data, median when you have outliers, and mode for categorical data or finding the most common value.
