How to Use the Median Calculator

The Median Calculator finds the middle value in a dataset when the numbers are arranged in ascending order. Simply enter your numbers using any of the supported formats: space-separated, comma-separated, or one per line. The calculator automatically sorts your data, identifies the median, and provides comprehensive statistical analysis including mean, mode, quartiles, and standard deviation for complete data insights.

Understanding median is crucial in statistics, data analysis, and research as it represents the central tendency that's less affected by extreme values (outliers) compared to the mean. This makes median particularly useful for analyzing income distributions, test scores, housing prices, and other datasets where outliers might skew results. Whether you're a student learning statistics, researcher analyzing data, or professional making data-driven decisions, this calculator provides accurate results with clear visual representation of your dataset's characteristics.
