Harmonic mean n 1x_i. Harmonic mean is used to calculate the average of a set of numbers. Set up the harmonic mean formula Given above Step 3.
The Harmonic mean for normal mean is x n so if the formula is reversed it becomes n x and then all the values of the denominator that must be used should be reciprocal ie for the numerator it remains n but for the denominator the values or the observations for them we need to use to reciprocal values.
The formula to find the harmonic mean is given by. In the example shown the formula in E7 is. X n are the individual numbers in the data set. The harmonic mean is the reciprocal of the arithmetic mean of reciprocals.
