CCP303

The document discusses the calculation of harmonic mean for continuous data series. It provides the formula for harmonic mean of a continuous series as the total frequency (N) divided by the sum of the frequency divided by the mid-point (f/m) of each class interval. Two examples are shown to demonstrate calculating the harmonic mean step-by-step by finding the mid-point, frequency divided by mid-point, and summing the results. The harmonic mean is the total frequency divided by the summed results. Quiz and assignment questions are provided to reinforce the topic.

CCP303.30 1
Objectives

On completion of the topic, you will be


able to learn:
 Calculation of Harmonic Mean
 Continuous series

CCP303.30 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)
 H.M.- Discrete series = N
∑(f/X)

CCP303.30 3
Calculation of Harmonic Mean
Continuous Series
Steps:
 Find the mid value of the classes (X)
 Find the reciprocal of each mid value i.e. (1/X)
 Multiply reciprocal of each mid value by its
frequency i.e. (f x 1/X)
 Sum the products ∑ (f x 1/ X)
 Divide total frequencies (N) by the sum of the
products
 Hence H.M. = N or N
∑ (f x 1/ m) ∑(f/m)

90-100 95 0.0105 16 0.1680
N = 130 ∑ (f x 1/m) = 1.9153

CCP303.30 6
Solution contd
Harmonic Mean = N
∑ (f x 1/m)
here N = 130, ∑ (f/X) = 1.9153, then
Harmonic Mean = 130/1.9153
= 67.87
∴Harmonic Mean = 67.87

N = 30 ∑(f/m) = 1.004

CCP303.30 9
Solution contd
Harmonic Mean = N
∑ (f/m)
here N = 30, ∑ (f/m) = 1.004, then
Harmonic Mean = 30/1.004
= 29.88
Harmonic Mean = 29.88
