Median Calculator

How to Use the Median Calculator

This guide will help you to use the Median Calculator to find the median, mean, and range of a dataset, while also providing other helpful statistics. Follow these simple steps to get started.

Step 1: Enter Your Data

• Locate the “Enter Number” Field: Begin by finding the input field labeled “Enter Number.”
• Input a Number: Type a number into the field. Each number must meet the criteria of being between -999,999,999 and 999,999,999, with a precision of up to 0.01.
• Add Each Number: After typing a number, use the “Add” functionality to add it to your dataset. Repeat this step for every number you want in your dataset.

Step 2: Choose Sort Order

• Select Sort Order: Use the “Sort Order” dropdown menu to select how the numbers should be arranged. You can choose between “Ascending” or “Descending” order.

Step 3: View Results

Once you have finished entering your dataset and chosen the sort order, the calculator will automatically perform the following calculations:

• Number of Values: Displays the count of numbers you have entered in your dataset.
• Sorted Numbers: Shows your dataset sorted based on the order you selected (ascending or descending).
• Median Value: Calculates the median of your dataset, which is either the middle number or the average of the two middle numbers, if your dataset consists of an even number of entries.
• Mean (Average): Computes the mean by adding all numbers and dividing by the count of numbers.
• Range: Provides the range by subtracting the smallest number from the largest number in your dataset.

Each result is appropriately formatted to two decimal places, providing a clear and concise presentation of your dataset’s statistical properties.

Summary

By following these steps, you can effectively use the Median Calculator to analyze a set of numbers, providing useful statistics quickly and accurately. Make sure each input is valid and that you’ve set your preferred sort order for optimal results.
