Descriptive Statistics

Complete statistical summary of a dataset

Statistics Calculator

Descriptive statistics summarize and describe the key features of a dataset: central tendency (mean, median, mode), spread (range, variance, standard deviation), and shape (skewness, kurtosis). They condense large datasets into interpretable summaries.

💡

Tip: For skewed data (like incomes, house prices), the median is a better measure of central tendency than the mean. Use mean when data is approximately normally distributed.

  1. 1Mean: sum of all values / count
  2. 2Median: middle value when sorted (average of two middle values if even count)
  3. 3Standard deviation: √(average squared deviation from mean)
  4. 4Quartiles: Q1 (25th percentile), Q2 (median, 50th), Q3 (75th)
Dataset: 2, 4, 4, 6, 8, 8, 10=Mean=6, Median=6, Mode=4&8, StdDev≈2.58

Fun Fact

Average salary statistics are often misleading because mean income is higher than median income due to a small number of very high earners. The median better represents "typical" income — in the US, median household income is about $75k while mean is $100k+.
