Geometric mean of n numbers is defined as the nth root of the product of n numbers.
Formula
GM=x1×x2×x3…xn−−−−−−−−−−−−−−√nGM=x1×x2×x3…xnn
Where −
· nn = Total numbers.
· xixi = numbers.
Example
Problem Statement:
Determine the geometric mean of following set of numbers.
1 | 3 | 9 | 27 | 81 |
Solution:
Step 1: Here n = 5
GM=x1×x2×x3…xn−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−√n=1×3×9×27×81−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−√5=33×33×34−−−−−−−−−−√5=310−−−√5=325−−−√5=95−−√5=9GM=x1×x2×x3…xnn=1×3×9×27×815=33×33×345=3105=3255=955=9
Thus geometric mean of given numbers is 9.
