Understanding your result
These are descriptive results for the observations you entered, not proof of causation, significance or a particular population distribution.
Common mistakes
- Comparing different quartile/percentile conventions, or treating an outlier fence as proof that data is wrong.
Check your calculation
- Try a small hand-checkable list; confirm the stated quartile/rank/denominator convention before comparing with another application.

How it works
Return min,type7Q1,median,type7Q3,max Lists accept commas, semicolons, spaces or line breaks as separators; use a dot for decimals. At most 10,000 observations are supported. Calculations use floating-point arithmetic; displayed numeric results have up to 12 significant digits. Quantiles use linear interpolation with h=(n-1)p (Hyndman–Fan type 7). Other conventions can give different values.
Worked example
Enter Numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. The result is Summary: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
