Five well-chosen numbers can tell you almost everything about a dataset. This calculator takes up to five values and returns the essential summary statistics — the center, the spread, and the total — in one pass, so you do not need a separate tool for each. A teacher with quiz scores of 78, 85, 92, 70, and 88, for example, can see the class average, the highest and lowest scores, and the full spread without touching a spreadsheet.

Basic statistics answer three questions: where is the middle, how spread out are the values, and how many are there. The mean locates the balance point, the range shows the span from lowest to highest, and the sum gives the raw total that everything else is built from. Together they turn a raw list into a story you can actually use — whether that story is about quiz scores, daily step counts, or a week's worth of coffee spending.

The tool works live: type each value into Value 1 through Value 5, and the outputs update with every keystroke. Students checking homework, fantasy football managers comparing player scores, and small business owners totaling weekly sales all get instant answers without formulas or sign-ups.

With the pre-filled defaults — Value 1 10, Value 2 20, Value 3 15, Value 4 30, Value 5 25 — the Basic Statistics Calculator returns Sum 100.0000, Mean 20.0000, Minimum 10.0000, Maximum 30.0000, Range 20.0000, Variance (Sample) 62.5000, Std Dev (Sample) 7.9057. Change any input and those results update instantly, so you can see exactly how each number you enter moves the answer.
