Frequently asked questions
What is Five Number Summary Calculator?
Get the minimum, quartiles and maximum of a dataset with the IQR, the outlier fences and a box plot, in three quartile conventions.
When would I actually use this?
Summarising a dataset before drawing conclusions from it, checking whether a difference between two groups is real, and putting an interval around an estimate.
What is the most common mistake?
Reading a p-value as the probability that the hypothesis is wrong. It is the probability of seeing data at least this extreme if the null were true — a different statement, and a much weaker one.
How is Five Number Summary Calculator different from Amicable Number Checker?
They sit next to each other but answer different questions: Amicable Number Checker is the one to open when you need it to check whether two numbers are amicable — or give just one and get its candidate partner plus the verified loop, with perfect and sociable numbers identified. Pick whichever matches what you're starting from — both are free.
Is there a tool for the next step?
Complex Number Calculator is the closest one after this: Add, subtract, multiply and divide complex numbers, with modulus, argument, conjugate and polar form.
What else is worth having open alongside it?
e Digits Calculator (Euler's Number) and Fibonacci Number Checker — they come up in the same task often enough to be worth a second tab.
Where do the figures come from?
Distributions and test statistics are computed from their standard definitions, not from a lookup table, so results carry more digits than a printed table would. The assumptions each test makes are stated with it.
