Skewness
Outliers (1.5×IQR rule)

What to check before you trust the mean

  • Skewness far from 0? The mean is being dragged toward the tail, so report the median too. (Describing Data)
  • Outliers flagged? Don't delete them by reflex; find out what they are first. One typo can move a mean more than ten honest values. (Assumptions & When They Break)
  • Small n? The 95% CI here uses the t-distribution, so it's honest about small samples. No formula fixes n = 5, though. (Confidence Intervals)

Two variables instead of one? The Correlation & Regression Calculator plots X against Y and gives you r, the best-fit line, and an outlier check. No data yet? Grab a practice dataset.
