Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Can I compare different units using this tool?
Yes, for measurements like meters and feet or kilograms and pounds, the calculator converts values to a common base unit before comparing.
2. How many values can I compare at once?
Up to five values for numbers, percentages, fractions, and decimals. For measurements, it compares two values with units.
3. What if I enter fewer than two values?
The tool requires at least two values to perform a comparison and will prompt you if fewer are entered.
4. Does the calculator handle fractions?
Yes, enter fractions as decimal equivalents (e.g., 0.5 for 1/2).
5. Can I compare percentages?
Yes, treat percentages as numbers (e.g., 75% as 75).
6. How is the median calculated?
For odd numbers of values, it’s the middle value after sorting. For even, it’s the average of the two middle values.
7. Why does the tool convert measurement units?
To compare values fairly regardless of the unit used (e.g., meters vs. feet).
8. What does the analysis tell me?
It explains the variation between your values, highlighting if the data is close or widely spread.
9. Can I sort from smallest to largest?
Yes, you can choose ascending or descending order before calculating.
10. Is the tool suitable for professional data analysis?
It’s designed for quick comparisons and educational purposes, but not for complex statistical modeling.
11. Are decimals handled precisely?
