    Geometric Mean

    Uploaded by

    The geometric mean is a type of average that indicates the central tendency of a set of numbers. It is defined precisely and based on all observations, allowing for further algebraic treatment. Unlike the arithmetic mean, the geometric mean is not much affected by fluctuations or extreme values. However, it cannot be calculated if any value is zero or negative, and its calculation is more difficult than other averages.

    Geometric Mean

    The geometric mean, in mathematics, is a type of mean or average, which indicates the central tendency or typical value of a set of numbers.

    Merits:
    y y y y y

    It is rigidly defined and its value is a precise figure. It is based on all observations. It is capable of further algebraic treatment. It is not much affected by fluctuation of sampling. It is not affected by extreme values.

    Demerits:
    y y y y

    It cannot be calculated if any of the observation is zero or negative. Its calculation is rather difficult. It is not easy to understand. It may not coincide with any of the abservations.
