Understanding your data starts with three key stats: mean, median, and mode.
If you’re analyzing grades, prices, survey responses, or scores, these values give you insights into the shape and center of your dataset.
And the best part? You can calculate all three in seconds using our handy calculator! ๐งฎ

๐โโ๏ธ What Are Mean, Median, and Mode?
โ Mean (Average)
The mean is the total of all numbers divided by how many numbers there are.
Formula:
Mean = (Sum of values) รท (Number of values)
Example:
Mean of 2, 4, 6 = (2 + 4 + 6) รท 3 = 4
๐ธ Median (Middle Value)
The median is the middle value when numbers are arranged in order.
- If there’s an odd number of values โ median is the center number.
- If even โ average of the two center values.
๐ Mode (Most Frequent)
The mode is the number that appears most often.
- You can have one mode, more than one mode, or no mode at all.
๐ฏ Why These Measures Matter
- Mean gives you a general sense of the average.
- Median helps avoid being skewed by outliers (great for income or home prices).
- Mode shows the most common value (helpful in surveys, ratings, etc.).
๐ Example Dataset
Data: 4, 8, 6, 5, 3, 9, 7
Mean = 6
Median = 6
Mode = No mode (all occur once)
