How do you find the mean, median, range, variance, standard deviation and mode in Excel?
Say for example you have 2 columns.
One column the numbers are 4, 51, 27, 89, 15, 61
The 2nd column, the numbers are 33, 2, 90, 54, 31, 7
For the given both samples the data is arranged in an excel sheet and its properties are calculated along with its formula is also tabulated, the values that are used in the formula are the row names that are used in the formula.
Formula Used | Column 1( C1 Column) | Formula Used | Column 2( F1 column) | ||
4 | 33 | ||||
51 | 2 | ||||
27 | 90 | ||||
89 | 54 | ||||
15 | 31 | ||||
61 | 7 | ||||
Mean | =AVERAGE(C2:C7) | 41.16666667 | Mean | =AVERAGE(F2:F7) | 36.16666667 |
Median | =MEDIAN(C2:C7) | 39 | Median | =MEDIAN(F2:F7) | 32 |
Range | =MAX(C2:C7)-MIN(C2:C7) | 85 | Range | =MAX(F2:F7)-MIN(F2:F7) | 88 |
Variance | =VAR.S(C2:C7) | 1008.966667 | Variance | =VAR.S(F2:F7) | 1054.166667 |
Standard deviation | =STDEV.S(C2:C7) | 31.76423565 | Standard deviation | =STDEV.S(F2:F7) | 32.4679329 |
Mode | =MODE.SNGL(C2:C7) | #N/A | Mode | =MODE.SNGL(F2:F7) | #N/A |
The #N/A is for not any availability of mode .
