Summarize a set of scores, measurements or daily amounts in one calculation. The mean uses every value, while the median describes the middle of the sorted list, making it useful when an unusually large or small value skews the average.
The sum is 20 across five numbers. The value 10 raises the mean above the middle value.
The middle values are 0 and 4, so their midpoint is 2.
Here, average means the arithmetic mean: sum divided by count. Median is the middle of the sorted list. A high outlier can change the mean substantially while changing the median very little.
This tool gives each entered value equal weight. It does not calculate a weighted mean; enter repeated observations individually only when each occurrence is one observation.
Calculate discounted prices and savings, percentages of amounts, ratios and percentage changes with worked examples.
Reduce two non-negative integers to their simplest ratio or solve A : B = C : X. Use proportions to scale recipes, dimensions and quantities.
