Calculator

Use raw numbers or a value-frequency table. Results appear above this form after submission.

Used in result summaries and downloads.
Choose direct values or summarized frequencies.
Controls displayed precision in outputs.
Sorting affects displayed lists only.
Input Notes

For raw values, separate numbers using commas, spaces, or new lines.

For frequency tables, enter one row per line as value,freq such as 15,3.

Example Data Table

Observation Value
112
215
318
420
522
625

For this dataset, the sum is 112 and the arithmetic mean is 112 ÷ 6 = 18.6667.

Formula Used

The arithmetic mean equals the total of all values divided by the number of values.

Raw values formula:

Mean = (x₁ + x₂ + x₃ + ... + xₙ) / n

Frequency table formula:

Mean = Σ(x × f) / Σf

Where x is the value, f is frequency, and n is the number of observations.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is an arithmetic mean?

It is the average found by adding all values and dividing by the number of observations. It is one of the most common measures of central tendency.

2. Can I use decimals and negative numbers?

Yes. The calculator accepts decimals, whole numbers, and negative values. Just separate them clearly with commas, spaces, or new lines in raw mode.

3. What is the difference between raw mode and frequency mode?

Raw mode uses every value directly. Frequency mode summarizes repeated values using value-frequency pairs, which is faster for grouped or repetitive datasets.

4. Does sorting change the arithmetic mean?

No. Sorting only changes the displayed order of the values. The mean remains the same because the total and observation count stay unchanged.

5. Why are median and standard deviation shown too?

They provide extra context. Median shows the central position, while standard deviation shows spread. Together they help you interpret the average more carefully.

6. When should I use the frequency formula?

Use it when many values repeat. Instead of entering every value, you can enter each unique value once with its count and still get the same mean.

7. What does the graph display?

The graph shows the frequency of each value and adds a reference line for the mean. It helps you compare clustering and balance in the dataset.

8. Can I save the results for reports?

Yes. Use the CSV export for spreadsheet work and the PDF export for a clean shareable summary. Both use your current calculation results.
