# About This Calculator

Descriptive Statistics are used to describe the basic features of the data in a study. They provide simple summaries about the sample and the measures. Together with simple graphics analysis, they form the basis of virtually every quantitative analysis of data.

This tool computes measures of **central tendency** (mean, median) and measures of **dispersion** (standard deviation, variance, range), giving you a clear picture of your dataset's distribution.

How To Use

  1. Type or paste your numbers into the text box.
  2. Numbers can be separated by commas, spaces, or new lines.
  3. The statistical summary will update in real-time.
  4. Use the detailed breakdown to understand the spread and center of your data.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Mean and Median?+

The Mean is the average (sum divided by count), while the Median is the middle value. The Median is often more accurate if your data has 'outliers' (extremely high or low values).

Does this calculate Sample or Population variance?+

This tool calculates Population Variance (divided by n). For small sample sizes where you want to estimate the larger population, use Sample Variance (divided by n-1).

Is Descriptive Statistics free to use?+

Yes, Descriptive Statistics on Matheric is completely free to use. We believe in accessible education and utility for everyone.

How accurate is Descriptive Statistics?+

We use standard mathematical formulas and high-precision computing algorithms to ensure results for Descriptive Statistics are accurate for academic and professional use.

Can I use Descriptive Statistics on my phone?+

Yes! Descriptive Statistics is fully responsive and optimized for all devices, including smartphones, tablets, and desktops.

Do you save my data?+

No. We prioritize your privacy. All calculations are performed in your browser or temporarily processed, and we do not store your personal input data.
