3. Harmonic mean Example
1. Calculate Harmonic mean from the following data `3,13,11,15,5,4,2`Solution:Harmonic mean :| `x` | `1/x` | | 3 | 0.3333 | | 13 | 0.0769 | | 11 | 0.0909 | | 15 | 0.0667 | | 5 | 0.2 | | 4 | 0.25 | | 2 | 0.5 | | --- | --- | | `sum 1/x=1.5178` |
HM of X `= n/(sum (f/x))` `=(7)/(1.5178)` `=4.6118`
2. Calculate Harmonic mean from the following data `10,50,30,20,10,20,70,30`Solution:Harmonic mean :| `x` | `1/x` | | 10 | 0.1 | | 50 | 0.02 | | 30 | 0.0333 | | 20 | 0.05 | | 10 | 0.1 | | 20 | 0.05 | | 70 | 0.0143 | | 30 | 0.0333 | | --- | --- | | `sum 1/x=0.401` |
HM of X `= n/(sum (f/x))` `=(8)/(0.401)` `=19.9525`
3. Calculate Harmonic mean from the following data `73,70,71,73,68,67,69,72,76,71`Solution:Harmonic mean :| `x` | `1/x` | | 73 | 0.0137 | | 70 | 0.0143 | | 71 | 0.0141 | | 73 | 0.0137 | | 68 | 0.0147 | | 67 | 0.0149 | | 69 | 0.0145 | | 72 | 0.0139 | | 76 | 0.0132 | | 71 | 0.0141 | | --- | --- | | `sum 1/x=0.141` |
HM of X `= n/(sum (f/x))` `=(10)/(0.141)` `=70.9105`
