Statistics
Standard Deviation Calculator
Compute the sample standard deviation directly from three summary statistics — sample size n, the sum of values Σx, and the sum of squared values Σx². This is the spread metric used in virtually every empirical study, quality-control chart, and risk model.

Statistics
Mean Calculator
Compute the arithmetic mean (average) of any comma-separated list of numbers — the most common measure of central tendency in statistics. The result is the sum divided by the count, equivalent to balancing a see-saw of the data points.
