The arithmetic mean of a set of data is found by taking the sum of the data and dividing by the total number of values in the set. The mean is commonly referred to as an average.

I really like your approach!
here is a great, easy to read discussion!
it says as an example,
the geometric mean of the scores: 1, 2, 3, and 10 is the fourth root of 1 x 2 x 3 x 10,
which is the fourth root of 60 which equals 2.78
hope that helps!
:-)

Please remember that the geometric mean is totally different from the normal "mean", which means average. Geometric mean is different.
To find the geometric mean of 2, and 18, you would do the following:
Multiply the two numbers. 2 x 18 = 36.
You would then find the square root of that.

the mean is the same thing as finding the average...add all the numbers together and them divide that answer by how many number there are....so 1+2+18=something....then something divided by 3= the answer

the mean is the average. Add the numbers and divide by the number of numbers

mean is the average
sum of all the number / total numbers (3) = mean
