FAQ
What is the difference between mean, median and mode?+
The mean is the sum of all values divided by how many there are. The median is the middle value once the list is sorted (or the average of the two middle values). The mode is the value that appears most often.
When is the median better than the mean?+
When the data has outliers or is skewed, like incomes or house prices. A few extreme values pull the mean around, while the median stays put at the middle of the data.
Can a list have no mode?+
Yes. If no value repeats, there is no mode, and this calculator reports none. A list can also have several modes if multiple values tie for the highest count.
