About this calculator
Overview
The midrange is a measure of central tendency that calculates the average of the minimum and maximum values in a dataset. It is the exact midpoint between the boundaries of your data, ignoring all other intermediate values.
💡
Pro Tips
Use the midrange for a quick estimate of the center in small, outlier-free datasets.
Always check for extreme values before relying on the midrange for analysis.
Combine the midrange with the median to see how much influence extreme values have on your data center.

Fun Facts
"The midrange is considered the 'least robust' statistic because it is extremely sensitive to outliers. A single massive value can shift the midrange significantly."
"In meteorology, the midrange is often used to report the 'average' daily temperature based only on the daily high and low."
"The midrange is one of the easiest measures of central tendency to calculate but is rarely used in advanced statistical analysis because it lacks stability."
