  2. Arithmetic mean - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic_mean

    The arithmetic mean can be similarly defined for vectors in multiple dimensions, not only scalar values; this is often referred to as a centroid. More generally, because the arithmetic mean is a convex combination (meaning its coefficients sum to ), it can be defined on a convex space, not only a vector space.

  3. Mean - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean

    The arithmetic mean of a set of numbers x 1, x 2, ..., x n is typically denoted using an overhead bar, ¯. [ note 1 ] If the numbers are from observing a sample of a larger group , the arithmetic mean is termed the sample mean ( x ¯ {\displaystyle {\bar {x}}} ) to distinguish it from the group mean (or expected value ) of the underlying ...

  4. Average - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Average

    If exactly one value is left, it is the median; if two values, the median is the arithmetic mean of these two. This method takes the list 1, 7, 3, 13 and orders it to read 1, 3, 7, 13. Then the 1 and 13 are removed to obtain the list 3, 7. Since there are two elements in this remaining list, the median is their arithmetic mean, (3 + 7)/2 = 5.

    Suppose AC = x 1 and BC = x 2. Construct perpendiculars to [AB] at D and C respectively. Join [CE] and [DF] and further construct a perpendicular [CG] to [DF] at G. Then the length of GF can be calculated to be the harmonic mean, CF to be the geometric mean, DE to be the arithmetic mean, and CE to be the quadratic mean.

  6. Mean of a function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_of_a_function

    In calculus, and especially multivariable calculus, the mean of a function is loosely defined as the average value of the function over its domain. In one variable, the mean of a function f ( x ) over the interval ( a , b ) is defined by: [ 1 ]

    From top to bottom: x 1/8, x 1/4, x 1/2, x 1, x 2, x 4, x 8. If x is a nonnegative real number, and n is a positive integer, / or denotes the unique nonnegative real n th root of x, that is, the unique nonnegative real number y such that =.

  8. Pythagorean means - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_means

    Nomograms to graphically calculate arithmetic (1), geometric (2) and harmonic (3) means, z of x=40 and y=10. Of all pairs of different natural numbers of the form (a, b) such that a < b, the smallest (as defined by least value of a + b) for which the arithmetic, geometric and harmonic means are all also natural numbers are (5, 45) and (10, 40).

  9. Arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic

    The term "arithmetic" has its root in the Latin term "arithmetica" which derives from the Ancient Greek words ἀριθμός (arithmos), meaning "number", and ἀριθμητική τέχνη (arithmetike tekhne), meaning "the art of counting". [3] There are disagreements about its precise definition.
