Questions and Answers

What is the formula for the geometric mean of n numbers?

  • $(a_{1}a_{2}\cdots a_{n})^{\frac{1}{n}}$
  • $(\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n}ln\ a_{i})$
  • $(\prod_{i=1}^{n}a_{i})^{\frac{1}{n}}$ (correct)
  • $(\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n}a_{i})$

    Study Notes

    Geometric Mean Formula

    • The formula for the geometric mean of n numbers is the nth root of the product of the numbers.

    Restrictions on Geometric Mean Formula

    • The numbers in the geometric mean formula are restricted to being non-negative because the nth root is undefined for negative numbers.

    Example of Geometric Mean

    • The geometric mean of 2 and 8 is √(2 × 8) = √16 = 4.

    Relationship with Arithmetic Mean

    • The geometric mean is related to the arithmetic mean in log scale, meaning that the logarithm of the geometric mean is equal to the arithmetic mean of the logarithms.

    Restrictions on Geometric Mean Values

    • The numbers in the geometric mean formula are frequently restricted to being positive to avoid complex roots and to ensure a well-defined geometric mean.
