harmonic mean

In mathematics, the harmonic mean is one of several kinds of average, and in particular, one of the Pythagorean means. It is sometimes appropriate for situations when the average rate is desired. The harmonic mean can be expressed as the reciprocal of the arithmetic mean of the reciprocals of the given set of observations. As a simple example, the harmonic mean of 1, 4, and 4 is
${\\displaystyle \\left({\ rac {1^{-1}+4^{-1}+4^{-1}}{3}}\ ight)^{-1}={\ rac {3}{{\ rac {1}{1}}+{\ rac {1}{4}}+{\ rac {1}{4}}}}={\ rac {3}{1.5}}=2\\,.}$
