The harmonic mean is a type of average represented by the following formula.
H=n11x1+1x2+1xn
Explanation:
The harmonic mean is a specific type of average used when calculating averages of units or rates, such as speed speed. It is different than the arithmetic mean and is always lower.
The formula is:
H=n1x1+1x2+1xn
n represents the number of terms in the data set. x1 represents the first value in the set.
For example, take the following problem.
What is the harmonic mean of 2,4,5,8,10?
H=512+14+15+18+110
H=51.175
H=4.255
