What is the geometric mean ofย  2.8 and 1?

Geometric mean of 2.8 and 1 is 1.6733200530681511. Look at link: "Calculation of the geometric mean of two numbers". Cheers ebs


4 is the geometric mean of 1 and what number?

16. Geometric mean of two numbers is the square root of their product.


Is the geometric mean the same as the mean or average of two numbers?

Not usually. Given numbers a and b, the mean or average is (a + b)/2 but the geometric mean is sq rt (a X b). If both a and b equal 1, the results are the same.


How do you find a geometric mean?

If there are only k numbers x(1),x(2)....,x(k), the geometric mean is the kth root of the product of these k numbers. Example: find the geometric mean of 4,3,7,8 We want the fourth root of 4 x 3 x 7 x 8 = 672 =(672)^(1/4) = 5.09146 is the geometric mean. The geometric mean is normally defined only for a set of positive numbers.


What is the geometric mean between 5 and 135?

geometric mean is: (5 x 135)1/2 = √675 ≈ 25.98 To find the geometric mean of n numbers, multiply them together and take the nth root, so the geometric mean of x1, x2, ..., xn is: geometric mean = (Π xr)1/n for r = 1, 2, .., n


Properties and limitations of geometric mean?

In a given sequence, there are two possible means calculatable: Arithmetic Mean, and Geometric Mean. The arithmetic mean, as we all know, is calculated from the sum of all the numbers divided by how many numbers there are: Sumn/n. The Geometric sum is calculated by multiplying all the numbers within the sequence together and taking the nth root of this value: (Productn)(1/n).In a geometric series, N(i)= a(ri), the geometric mean is found to be a(rn-1), where n is the number of elements within the series. this decreases or increases exponentially depending on the r value. If r1, increasing.Limitation Of Geometric Mean are:-1) Geometric mean cannot be computed when there are both negative and positive values in a series or more observations are having zero value.2)Compared to Arithmetic Mean this average is more difficult to compute and interpret.-Iwin


What is the Geometric mean of 8.5 and 12.4?

The geometric mean of n numbers (t{1}, t{2}, ..., t{n}) is given by (Π t{n})^(1/n) → geometric mean of 8.5 and 12.4 = (8.5 × 12.4)^(1/2) = 10.26645... ≈ 10.266


What is a geometric property?

1.The Geometric mean is less then the arithmetic mean. GEOMETRIC MEAN < ARITHMETIC MEAN 2.


What is the geometric mean and how do you cal culate?

I'm posting a link which explains it pretty good, but here it is. Given a set of n numbers, the Geometric mean is found by multiplying all of the numbers together, then taking the nth root of this product. The nth root can also be written as taking to the 1/n power.Example: Geometric mean of 8 and 2: There are two numbers, so take the square root of the product. sqrt(8*2) = sqrt(16) = 4.


What numbers have a geometric mean of 8?

Any two numbers that when multiplied, equal 8^2 (64). So, 2 and 32 work. So do 1 and 64. And 4 and 16. And .5 and 128


What is the geometric mean between 16 and 25?

GM of two numbers is the square root of their product, in this case sqrt 400 ie 20 (Common Ratio 1¼)


What is the Relation between geometric mean and arithmetic mean?

The mean of the numbers a1, a2, a3, ..., an is equal to (a1 + a2 + a3 +... + an)/n. This number is also called the average or the arithmetic mean.The geometric mean of the positive numbers a1, a2, a3, ... an is the n-th roots of [(a1)(a2)(a3)...(an)]Given two positive numbers a and b, suppose that a< b. The arithmetic mean, m, is then equal to (1/2)(a + b), and, a, m, b is an arithmetic sequence. The geometric mean, g, is the square root of ab, and, a, g, b is a geometric sequence. For example, the arithmetic mean of 4 and 25 is 14.5 [(1/2)(4 + 25)], and arithmetic sequence is 4, 14.5, 25. The geometric mean of 4 and 25 is 10 (the square root of 100), and the geometric sequence is 4, 10, 25.It is a theorem of elementary algebra that, for any positive numbers a1, a2, a3, ..., an, the arithmetic mean is greater than or equal to the geometric mean. That is:(1/n)(a1, a2, a3, ..., an) &ge; n-th roots of [(a1)(a2)(a3)...(an)]
