Although the concept of an average seems simple, we continue to see many people using an incorrect method to calculate averages. We would be surprised if most people were familiar with the three different types of averages mentioned in the title. In fact, many people (including journalists) routinely...

GM=SQURT(a*b) HM=2ab/a+b reciprocal of AM is HM in AM a,a+d,a+2d series in GM-- a, ar, ar^2 .. like that okay.

Geometric mean will use if the data terms in fractions and harmonic mean will use for extreme value of given data.

Geometric progression (also known as geometric sequence) is a sequence of numbers where the ratio of any two adjacent terms is constant. The constant ratio is called the common ratio, r of geometric progression. Each term therefore in geometric progression is found by multiplying the previous one by r. Examples of GP:- 3, 6, 12, 24, … is a geometric progression with r = 2 10, -5, 2.5, -1.25, … is a geometric progression with r = -1/2. Harmonic progression is a sequence of numbers in which the reciprocals of the elements are in arithmetic progression. Example of harmonic progression is: 1/3, 1/6, 1/9, ... If you take the reciprocal of each term from the above HP, the sequence will become 3, 6, 9, ..., which is an AP with a common difference of 3. read less

Geometric mean of two number a & b is said to be c if C^2=axb and Harmonic mean of two number a & b is said to be c if C=(2*a*b/a+b).

The GM is for situations we want the average used in a multiplicative situation, such as the "average" dimension of a box that would have the same volume as length x width x height. For example, suppose a box has dimensions 50 x 80 x 100 cm.         ? A cubic box with sides of the GM=73.7 cm would...

The GM is for situations we want the average used in a multiplicative situation, such as the "average" dimension of a box that would have the same volume as length x width x height. For example, suppose a box has dimensions 50 x 80 x 100 cm.         ? A cubic box with sides of the GM=73.7 cm would enclose the same 400,000 cm3 or 0.4 m3  volume. The harmonic mean is a better "average" when the numbers are defined in relation to some unit.  The common example is averaging speed. For example, suppose that you have four 10 km segments to your automobile trip.  You drive your car: 100 km/hr for the first 10 km110 km/hr for the second 10 km90 km/hr for the third 10 km120 km/hr for the fourth 10 km. read less

Use the geometric mean when your sample contains fractions. Use the harmonic mean when your sample contains fractions and/or extreme values (either too big or too small). It is more stable regarding out liers. For example:- the arithmetic mean of (1,2,3,4,5,100) is 19.2 whereas the harmonic one is 2....
