The harmonic mean is best for rates and ratios. It emphasizes smaller values in a dataset and is the reciprocal of the arithmetic mean of reciprocals, often used for average speeds.
Formel
HM = n / (1/x₁ + 1/x₂ + ... + 1/xₙ)
Trin-for-trin guide
- 1Calculate the reciprocal of each number
- 2Sum all reciprocals
- 3Divide n by the sum of reciprocals
Løste eksempler
Input
Speeds: 60 km/h, 40 km/h
Resultat
HM = 48 km/h
2 / (1/60 + 1/40) = 48
Almindelige fejl at undgå
- ✕Confusing harmonic and arithmetic means
