Result
Fill in the fields above, then press Calculate.
An average calculator computes the arithmetic, geometric, harmonic, or weighted mean of a set of numbers along with related statistics.
Examples
Arithmetic
Mean of 10, 20, 30 = (10+20+30)/3 = 20
Geometric
Mean of 2, 8, 32 = (2×8×32)^(1/3) = (512)^(1/3) = 8
Weighted
Grades 90(weight 3), 80(weight 2): (90×3+80×2)/(3+2) = 430/5 = 86
Frequently Asked Questions
When should I use geometric mean?
Use geometric mean for rates of change, growth rates, and ratios. It is ideal when values are multiplied together, like compound interest rates.
What is harmonic mean used for?
Harmonic mean is used for averaging rates, like speed. For example, if you drive 60 mph one way and 40 mph back, the harmonic mean gives the true average speed.
How does weighted average work?
Weighted average gives more importance to certain values. Enter alternating value,weight pairs. Higher weights mean more influence on the result.
