CCP303

The document provides instructions on calculating the harmonic mean of a discrete data series. It defines harmonic mean as the reciprocal of the arithmetic mean of the reciprocals of the individual observations. It then demonstrates calculating the harmonic mean in two examples, showing the steps of finding the reciprocal of each value, multiplying it by its frequency, summing the products, and dividing the total frequency by the sum to obtain the harmonic mean. Assignments are provided for students to practice calculating harmonic mean from additional data sets. Frequently asked questions are also included as a reference.

CCP303.29 1
Objectives

On completion of this period, you would be


able to:
 Calculate Harmonic Mean – Discrete series

CCP303.29 2
Recap

 Harmonic Mean is “ the reciprocal of the


arithmetic mean of the reciprocal of the
individual observations”
 H.M.-Individual series = n
∑ (1/X)

CCP303.29 3
Calculation of Harmonic Mean
Discrete Series

Steps:
 Find out the reciprocal of each item i.e. (1/X)
 Multiply each reciprocal by its frequency i.e. (f x 1/X)
 Summate the products ∑ (f x 1/ X)
 Divide the total frequencies (N) by the sum of the
products
 Hence H.M. = N or N
∑ (f x 1/ X) ∑(f/X)

10 .100 20 2.0000
N = 130 ∑(f x 1/X) =

CCP303.29 6
Solution contd
Harmonic Mean = N
∑ (f x 1/X)
here N = 130, ∑ (f/X) = 6.2, then

Harmonic Mean = 130/6.2


= 20.97
Harmonic Mean = 20.97

CCP303.29 9
Solution contd

Harmonic Mean = N
∑ (f/X)
Here N = 120, ∑ (f/X) = 5.975, then
Harmonic Mean = 120/5.975
= 20.08
Harmonic Mean = 20.08
