The difference between arithmetic and geometric mean you can find in the following link: "Calculation of the geometric mean of two numbers".
1.The Geometric mean is less then the arithmetic mean. GEOMETRIC MEAN < ARITHMETIC MEAN 2.
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) ≥ n-th roots of [(a1)(a2)(a3)...(an)]
The arithmetic mean is calculated by adding together the values and dividing by how many values there are. This is distinct from the geometric mean which is calculated as the nth root of the product of the values where n is the number of values multiplied together.
the arithmetic mean for the set of numbers is 7.4. but the geometric mean is 6.25826929.
