How the results were found

1. Order the data

4, 7, 9, 10, 10

2. Find the mean

Sum = 40; mean = 40 / 5 = 8.

3. Find the middle and spread

Median = 9; range = largest value - smallest value = 6.

Method and variables

Descriptive Statistics Calculator

Formula: mean = sum(x) / n; population SD = sqrt(sum((x - mean)^2) / n)

Assumption: All entered values are numerical observations from the same data set and receive equal weight.
