Geometric Mean


The geometric mean is a measure of central tendency. The geometric mean of n numbers is obtained by multiplying all of them together, and then taking the nth root of them. For example, for the numbers 1, 10, and 100, the product of all the numbers is: 1 x 10 x 100 = 1,000. Since there are three numbers, we take the cubed root of the product (1,000) which is equal to 10.
