CCP303.27 1
Objectives

On completion of the topic, you will be able

to learn:
 Calculation of Geometric Mean
 Discrete series and Continuous series

CCP303.27 2
Recap
 Geometric Mean is “ the Nth root of the product
of N items or values”
 G.M.-Individual series = Antilog ∑log X
n

CCP303.27 3
Calculation of Geometric Mean
Discrete Series
Steps:
 Find the logarithm of each item i.e., (log X)
 Multiply these logarithms with respective
frequencies i.e. f log X
 Obtain total ∑ f Log X
 Divide ∑ f Log X by total frequency
 Find anti-logarithm of quotient obtained
 ∴G.M. = Antilog (∑f log x)

CCP303.27 6
Solution contd
Geometric Mean = Antilog ∑ f log x
N
= Antilog 114.2349/80
= Antilog 1.4279
= 26.79
∴Geometric Mean = 26.79

N = 60 ∑ f log X = 75.9196

CCP303.27 9
Solution contd

Now substitute
Geometric Mean = Antilog ∑f log X the values in
the formula
N
= Antilog 75.9196/60
= Antilog 1.2653
= 18.42
Geometric Mean = 18.42

CCP303.27 10
Calculation of Geometric Mean
Continuous Series
Steps:
 Find the mid-points of classes and take their
logarithms
 Multiply these logarithms with respective
frequencies of each class and obtain total i.e.,
∑ f log m
 Divide total ∑ f log m by the total frequency and
take antilog of the value so obtained
 ∴G.M. = Antilog (∑ f log m)
