what is the geometric mean?

Answer 1

The geometric mean of two numbers is the square root of their product. For three numbers, it's the cube root of their product. You get the idea.

Answer 2

The geometric mean is when all the number in a series (n numbers) are multplied together and the nth root is taken of the product of that series.

For example the geometric mean of 1, 3, 9 is 3. The calculation is as follows 1 multipled by 3, multipled by 9 yields 27. The cubic root is therefore 3.

It tends to be used when the numbers are not evenly spaced.

Answer 3

Geometric mean is a kind of average of a set of numbers that is different from the arithmetic average. The geometric mean is well defined only for sets of positive real numbers.

Geometric mean of A and B is the square root of (A*B). The geometric mean of A, B, and C is the cube root of (A*B*C). And so forth.

Contrast this to the arithmetic means, which are .5*(A+B) and .333*(A+B+C).

Answer 4

Geometric mean of a set of positive data, isdefined as the nth root of the product of all the member os the set

Answer 5

if p, q, and x are positive numbers, and

p/x=x/q

then x is called the geometric mean between a and c


it is easy to calculate that x=sqrt of pq



hope that helped..
