PICOSTAT
Precision in the data — statistics, sensors, and analytics guides, plus the calculators every data-driven mind needs.
From summarising a data set and measuring its spread to standardising a value, sizing a study, testing a correlation, and converting data units, PicoStat pairs free hands-on statistics calculators with practical guides and a richly illustrated museum of measurement. Analyse smarter, decide with confidence.
Statistics Tools & Calculators
Free tools for working with data — mean, median & mode calculator, standard deviation calculator, z-score calculator, sample size calculator, correlation calculator, and data size converter.
Mean, Median & Mode Calculator
Paste any list of numbers to get the mean, median, mode, count, sum, minimum, maximum, and range at once — the core measures of central tendency and spread
Standard Deviation Calculator
Calculate variance and standard deviation for both the population and the sample, plus the mean — a fast read on how tightly your data clusters around its average
Z-Score Calculator
Convert a raw value into a standard score from the mean and standard deviation, and see the percentile it falls at under the standard normal distribution
Sample Size Calculator
Find how many responses your survey needs for a chosen confidence level and margin of error using Cochran's formula, with an optional finite-population correction
Correlation Calculator
Compute the Pearson correlation coefficient and R² between two paired data series, with a plain-language strength label — measure how strongly two variables move together
Data Size Converter
Convert between bytes, KB, MB, GB, and TB using binary (base-1024) units — a quick reference for file sizes, storage capacity, dataset volumes, and sensor logs
Measurement & Data Museum
Wander an immersive museum of the instruments and ideas that let us measure the world — precision sensors and scientific instruments alongside the pioneers of probability and statistics, the machines that gave rise to computing and data, and the charts and gauges that turn raw numbers into insight, each in its own gallery, so you can get to know the stories behind every great measurement: how each one came to be, what makes it matter, and the role it plays in how we understand data today.
