Step 2: Using original number set, assign the rank value:
Since we have 5 numbers in our original number set, we assign ranks from lowest to highest (1 to 5) Our original number set in unsorted order was 2,4,6,8,10 Our respective ranked data set is 1,2,3,4,5
Root Mean Square Calculation
Root Mean Square =
√A
√N
where A = x12 + x22 + x32 + x42 + x52 and N = 5 number set items
Calculate the Median (Middle Value) Since our number set contains 5 elements which is an odd number, our median number is determined as follows: Number Set = (n1,n2,n3,n4,n5) Median Number = Entry ½(n + 1) Median Number = Entry ½(6) Median Number = n3
Therefore, we sort our number set in ascending order and our median is entry 3 of our number set highlighted in red: (2,4,6,8,10) Median = 6
The highest frequency of occurence in our number set is 1 times by the following numbers in green: (2,4,6,8,10) Since the maximum frequency of any number is 1, no mode exists. Mode = N/A
Calculate Harmonic Mean:
Harmonic Mean =
N
1/x1 + 1/x2 + 1/x3 + 1/x4 + 1/x5
With N = 5 and each xi a member of the number set you entered, we have:
Harmonic Mean =

1/2 + 1/4 + 1/6 + 1/8 + 1/10
Harmonic Mean =

0.5 + 0.25 + 0.16666666666667 + 0.125 + 0.1
Harmonic Mean =

1.1416666666667
Harmonic Mean = 4.3795620437956
Calculate Geometric Mean:
Geometric Mean = (x1 * x2 * x3 * x4 * x5)1/N Geometric Mean = (2 * 4 * 6 * 8 * 10)1/5 Geometric Mean = 38400.2 Geometric Mean = 5.2103421693947
Calcualte Mid-Range:
Mid-Range =

μ = 6
Calculate Variance denoted as σ2 Let's evaluate the square difference from the mean of each term (Xi - μ)2: (X1 - μ)2 = (2 - 6)2 = -42 = 16 (X2 - μ)2 = (4 - 6)2 = -22 = 4 (X3 - μ)2 = (6 - 6)2 = 02 = 0 (X4 - μ)2 = (8 - 6)2 = 22 = 4 (X5 - μ)2 = (10 - 6)2 = 42 = 16
Adding our 5 sum of squared differences up, we have our variance numerator: ΣE(Xi - μ)2 = 16 + 4 + 0 + 4 + 16 ΣE(Xi - μ)2 = 40
Now that we have the sum of squared differences from the means, calculate variance:
Let's evaluate the square difference from the mean of each term (Xi - μ)3: (X1 - μ)3 = (2 - 6)3 = -43 = -64 (X2 - μ)3 = (4 - 6)3 = -23 = -8 (X3 - μ)3 = (6 - 6)3 = 03 = 0 (X4 - μ)3 = (8 - 6)3 = 23 = 8 (X5 - μ)3 = (10 - 6)3 = 43 = 64
Adding our 5 sum of cubed differences up, we have our skewness numerator: ΣE(Xi - μ)3 = -64 + -8 + 0 + 8 + 64 ΣE(Xi - μ)3 = 0
Now that we have the sum of cubed differences from the means, calculate skewness:
Skewness =
E(Xi - μ)3
(n - 1)σ3
Skewness =

(5 - 1)2.82843
Skewness =

90.507064041216
Skewness = 0
Calculate Average Deviation (Mean Absolute Deviation) denoted below:
AD =
Σ|Xi - μ|
n
Let's evaluate the absolute value of the difference from the mean of each term |Xi - μ|: |X1 - μ| = |2 - 6| = |-4| = 4 |X2 - μ| = |4 - 6| = |-2| = 2 |X3 - μ| = |6 - 6| = |0| = 0 |X4 - μ| = |8 - 6| = |2| = 2 |X5 - μ| = |10 - 6| = |4| = 4
Adding our 5 absolute value of differences from the mean, we have our average deviation numerator: Σ|Xi - μ| = 4 + 2 + 0 + 2 + 4 Σ|Xi - μ| = 12
Now that we have the absolute value of the differences from the means, calculate average deviation (mean absolute deviation):
AD =
Σ|Xi - μ|

AD =

Average Deviation = 2.4
Calculate the Median (Middle Value) Since our number set contains 5 elements which is an odd number, our median number is determined as follows: Number Set = (n1,n2,n3,n4,n5) Median Number = Entry ½(n + 1) Median Number = Entry ½(6) Median Number = n3
Therefore, we sort our number set in ascending order and our median is entry 3 of our number set highlighted in red: (2,4,6,8,10) Median = 6
The highest frequency of occurence in our number set is 1 times by the following numbers in green: (2,4,6,8,10) Since the maximum frequency of any number is 1, no mode exists. Mode = N/A

Frequency Distribution Table
Show the freqency distribution table for this number set
2, 4, 6, 8, 10
Determine the Number of Intervals using Sturges Rule:
We need to choose the smallest integer k such that 2k ≥ n where n = 5
For k = 1, we have 21 = 2
For k = 2, we have 22 = 4
For k = 3, we have 23 = 8 ← Use this since it is greater than our n value of 5
Therefore, we use 3 intervals
Our maximum value in our number set of 10 - 2 = 8
Each interval size is the difference of the maximum and minimum value divided by the number of intervals
Interval Size =

Add 1 to this giving us 2 + 1 = 3

What 20 concepts are covered in the Basic Statistics Calculator?
average deviation
Mean of the absolute values of the distance from the mean for each number in a number set
basic statistics
central tendency
a central or typical value for a probability distribution. Typical measures are the mode, median, mean
entropy
refers to disorder or uncertainty
expected value
predicted value of a variable or event E(X) = ΣxI · P(x)
frequency distribution
frequency measurement of various outcomes
inner fence
ut-off values for upper and lower outliers in a dataset
mean
A statistical measurement also known as the average
median
the value separating the higher half from the lower half of a data sample,
mode
the number that occurs the most in a number set
outer fence
start with the IQR and multiply this number by 3. We then subtract this number from the first quartile and add it to the third quartile. These two numbers are our outer fences.
outlier
an observation that lies an abnormal distance from other values in a random sample from a population
quartile
1 of 4 equal groups in the distribution of a number set
range
Difference between the largest and smallest values in a number set
rank
the data transformation in which numerical or ordinal values are replaced by their rank when the data are sorted.
sample space
the set of all possible outcomes or results of that experiment.
standard deviation
a measure of the amount of variation or dispersion of a set of values. The square root of variance
stem and leaf plot
a technique used to classify either discrete or continuous variables. A stem and leaf plot is used to organize data as they are collected. A stem and leaf plot looks something like a bar graph. Each number in the data is broken down into a stem and a leaf, thus the name.
variance
How far a set of random numbers are spead out from the mean
weighted average
An average of numbers using probabilities for each event as a weighting
