find the geometric mean of 5 6 8
You asked:
Find the geometric mean of the following data: \(5, 6, 8\)
MathBot Answer:
The geometric mean is a value indicating the typical value of the elements in a given data set. It is computed by taking the product of all numbers in a set and taking the nth root where n is the number of values in the set. \[\overline{x}_{geo}=\sqrt[n]{\prod_{i=1}^{n}x_{i}}\] where \(x_i\) represents the individual values and \(n\) represents the number of values in the data set.
The geometric mean of \(5, 6, 8\) is \(6.21446501190772\).
