Define geometric mean and state its advantages.

Answer»

If n observations x1, x2, …, xn of the data are positive and non-zero, then nth root of the product of these observations is called geometric mean. It is denoted by G. Its formula Is as follows :
G = \(n\sqrt{x_1⋅x_2⋅…⋅x_n}\)

Advantages of Geometric mean:

  • It is rigidly defined.
  • It is based on all observations of the data.
  • It is a stable measure.
  • It is suitable for algebric process.
  • It balances the effect of too large or too small observations of the data and its value is less than mean.
