This statistics calculator helps you analyze data sets by calculating common statistical measures such as mean, median, mode, range, variance, standard deviation, and more. It also provides probability calculations and correlation analysis.
How the Statistics Calculator Works
Descriptive Statistics
The descriptive statistics calculator analyzes a set of data values to provide various statistical measures:
Central Tendency Measures: Mean (average), median (middle value), and mode (most frequent value)
Dispersion Measures: Range, variance, and standard deviation
Other Measures: Count, sum, minimum, and maximum values
Calculation Methods:
Mean: The sum of all values divided by the number of values.
Mean = (x₁ + x₂ + ... + xₙ) / n
Median: The middle value when data is sorted. For an even number of values, it's the average of the two middle values.
Mode: The value that appears most frequently. There may be no mode or multiple modes.
Range: The difference between the maximum and minimum values.
Range = Max - Min
Variance: The average of squared differences from the mean.
Variance = Σ(x - Mean)² / n
Standard Deviation: The square root of the variance.
Standard Deviation = √Variance
Probability Calculator
The probability calculator computes probabilities for different probability distributions:
Binomial Distribution
Used when there are exactly two possible outcomes ("success" and "failure") for each trial.
P(X = x) = (n choose x) × p^x × (1-p)^(n-x)
Where:
n = number of trials
x = number of successes
p = probability of success on a single trial
(n choose x) = n! / [x! × (n-x)!]
Normal Distribution
Used for continuous data that follows a bell-shaped curve.
P(X ≤ x) = Φ((x - μ) / σ)
Where:
μ = mean
σ = standard deviation
Φ = cumulative distribution function of the standard normal distribution
Poisson Distribution
Used for counting the number of events in a fixed interval of time or space.
P(X = x) = (λ^x × e^(-λ)) / x!
Where:
λ = mean rate of events
e = base of natural logarithm (approximately 2.71828)
x = number of events
Correlation Calculator
The correlation calculator analyzes the relationship between two sets of data (X and Y values).
Pearson Correlation Coefficient
Measures the strength and direction of the linear relationship between two variables.
