What Is Midrange?

The midrange is the average of the highest and lowest values. It gives a rough estimate of the center of a dataset.

Formula

Midrange = (Max + Min) / 2

Example

For {10, 20, 30, 40, 50}: Min = 10, Max = 50, Midrange = (10+50)/2 = 30.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is midrange useful?

It's the simplest center measure to calculate, useful for quick estimates. But it's heavily affected by outliers.

Midrange vs mean?

Midrange only uses the extreme values, while mean uses all values. Mean is usually more reliable.
