I have worked at several top research institutes across Europe and the UK, and most aren't even proficient at statistics. Or rather, they've been brainwashed into thinking the arithmetic mean is somehow more important/special than the geometric mean or any other kind of statistic. It results in the publication of statistics everyone knows you should have but no one really knows what to do with it.

I'm two years too late to the party. But I'd like to put up my answer anyway. A superb video btw. Really appreciate it. I'll do it in 2 steps. Step 1: Find the average speed for stage 1. Since the two activities (the climb and the descent) are of the same distance but at different speeds, the average speed for stage 1 must be the harmonic mean of two speeds. Average speed (stage 1) = 2 / (1/10 + 1/50) = 16.67 km/h. Step 2: Find the average speed between stage 1 and stage 2. Since stage 1 and stage 2 involve the same amount of time (both are 30 minutes long), the average speed would be the arithmetic mean. Average speed (stage 1 & 2) = (16.67 + 40) / 2 = 28.33 km/h. I'm sure others already came up with the perfect answer long ago. Still, I wanted to try myself. Thanks a ton for the examples. They really put all the different types of means in perspective.

Thanks for the clear explanation so I could check my process! I’m a musician but somehow had yet to mess with harmonic means. I think it’s my new favorite thing!

We will find harmonic mean of two activities of stage one and then we will find arithmetic mean for both the stages. so, harmonic mean of stage one = 2/(1/10+1/50)= 16.67. Now the arithmetic mean for both the stages = (16.67+40)/2=28.33 His average speed is 28.33 Km/h. btw, great video i was confused why we use geo mean. You were excellent.

You don't have to use harmonic mean, a weighted mean is also possible: On stage one, since uphill distance equals downhill distance (same hill) - the times spent on every part can be found using the equation: 10X=50(30-X) which gives X=25. The next stage is just a weighted mean: (10*25+50*5+40*30)/60=28.33

It’s not weighted yet, as you’re actually going at an average speed of 16.67 km/h for a total of 36 minutes (when the down hill ride is included) in contrast to the 30 minutes ride at 40 km/h. Hence, if you add the proper weight (by using factor [36/30 =] 1.2 for the first stage), you can afterwards take the arithmetic mean of both values by deviding the sum by 2.2 (instead of just two). That get’s you a result of [(stage1*1.2+stage2)/2.2 =] 27.27… km/h. ;)

Challenge question: What is the average speed over the whole track? Ans. 28.33 km/h Stage 1.- 30 mins - up-hill 10km/h, down-hill 40km/h, which means, equal distance traveled in a different time, therefore use harmonic mean. Stage 2.- 30 mins - 40km/h, equal time as stage 1, so use the arithmetic mean between them. average of stage 1: ( (1/10 + 1/50) / 2 )^-1 = 16.66 km/h average of stage 1 and stage 2: (16.66 + 40) / 2 = 28.33 km/h

Applying that to ROI was great! Maybe at 14:04 it would help some people to know 1 Hertz is 1 thing per second, so that's where the ratio is coming from, the fact that you are talking about 2 dimensional frequencies, oscillations in time, but referring to it as a single number. Harmonic was explained so well i wish i could subscribe twice!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isnt the challenge problem flawed? In stage one, we cannot assume the distance uphill equals the distance downhill- we know only that the sum of the time taken to go uphill is 0.5hrs ie: t1+t2=0.5, and that 10t1 + 50(0.5-t1)= total distance travelled in stage one denoted by D1. There's no way to link any component of D1 to other bits of information given. Therefore, there are 2 degree of freedom (ie: (t1 or t2) and a component of D1): there's no unique solution.

It appears harmonic mean only works if the numerator in the rate or ratio is the same across the values. In the above example, the cycling speeds up and down the hill are given as 10 km/h and 50 km/h respectively. We could determine the average speed using the harmonic mean formula only because the distance covered both ways is the same. Should the distance be different, and the speeds be the same as provided above, we may not use the harmonic mean formula to determine the average speed, it appears.

Great video. Short enough for an intro, but long enough for some very helpful details. I came across your video after recently having seen a question along the lines of "Ben takes 2 hours and 12 minutes to dig a hole, Bob beats him and digs the same hole in 1 hour and 50 minutes, how long would they have taken to dig the hole together in joint effort?" which involves basically half of the harmonic mean, in this case, and that got me interested. It also reminded me of the fact that runners often use "pace", which is min/km, rather than, say speed in km/h. So a pace of 6 would be 10 km/h, and a pace of 8 would be 7.5 km/h. Essentially, since one is having to take the reciprocal in order to add the speeds before one flips it back into pace with another reciprocal, these types of questions of "resultative times in combined effort" are related to the harmonic mean. Oddly though, I have to remark that with musical notes and their frequencies, at least with well-tempered tuning like the piano, where let us say A = 440 Hz and the frequencies of each semitone higher is the precursor frequency multiplied by 12th root of 2 which is around 1.0595 or 5.95% higher, this entails that finding the frequency of the notes in between two notes involves the geometric mean. So whereas the arithmetic mean of the 440 Hz A and the 880 Hz A would be an E of 660, which is "too high" because it is a natural fifth away from the low A and only a natural fourth away from the high A, nicely shown by it being 7 semitones away from the low note and 5 semitones away from the high note, if you want the D# or E flat that's 6 semitones away (a tritone) from both, you can take the geometric mean of sqrt( 440 x 880 ) and you will get exactly 440 times sqrt(2), which is around 622.25 Hz. (Of course, with waves and music being what they are, A-E-A (Strauss's Zarathustra) will always sound great, and like "the middle" because it's consonant and A - D# - A (Holst's Planets, Mars) will always sound scary because its a tritone and dissonant, but such is the odd design of the keyboard, and tempered tuning is mathematically always a "compromise" of sorts.

@3:16 The mean in a normal density function should really be called a *median*, not an arithmetic mean because in the distribution itself, this value corresponds to a frequency that is most likely, but definitely not the mean. To convince yourself of this fact, find the average value (using calculus) of the frequencies between one standard deviation, that is, -1 to 1 (if normalised). You will observe that there are two arithmetic means and they are not located at the median. The phrase arithmetic mean is not a very well thought out concept. A better expression would be "level term" because that's what you do when you calculate and arithmetic mean - you redistribute the values so that they are all equal. This is why it makes no sense to find a level term for the height of a sample of people: what? are you going to chop them up and then glue them all back together again in such a way that they are all of the same height? We can know beforehand whether it makes sense to calculate a level term or not. Simply this: A level term only makes sense if redistribution makes sense. It should be called "level term", not arithmetic mean because it has nothing to do with the *middle of anything*

How did I know that I'd have to do harmonic mean in stage 1 and then the arithmetic mean of state 1 and stage 2 get the average speed?

Hi, great video, thanks so much. I'm curious, has anyone observed the connection between these three means and special relativity before? Each mean when applied to light paths between points derives a fundamental kinematic concept (proper length/time, time, length), but I haven't seen this explained anywhere! This video helped clarify these means for me, so much thanks!

Sir I have one doubt sir in harmonic mean Harmonic Mean Query Example: we travel 60 km at 60 km/h, than another 20 km at 20 km/h, what is our average speed? Harmonic mean = 2/( 1/60 + 1/20 ) = 30 km/h Check: the 60 km at 60 km/h takes 60 minutes, the 20 km at 20 km/h takes 60 minutes, so the total 80 km takes 120 minutes, which is 40 km per hour which one is rigth ?

Remember this, mate. You compute the harmonic mean when you travel the same distance at two different speeds. You cannot work out the harmonic mean in your example because the distances are different (60km at 60km/h; then 20km at 20km/h). The harmonic mean of 30km/h, as you've computed, would apply to the situation where you travel 60km at 60km/h; then another 60km at 20km/h.

thanks. i didnt think i'd learn something new, but i did. and i loved the question in the end. the key is recognizing that the first part of the problem didnt specify how much time were spent cycling the two different speeds, but it was given to you how much distance were spent cycling the two different speeds, so use the harmonic mean!

Arithmetic mean doesn't consider the effect of compounding (of the investment over time). But Geometric mean does. Say you made a profit of 10% in year 1, loss of 20% (or, -20%) in year 2 and a 10% profit in year 3 on a $1000 you had invested at the very beginning. Looking at how the investment changed over the years, Investment at the beginning of year 1 = $1000 At the end of year 1 = 1000 + 1000 * 0.10 = 1000 * (1 + 0.1) = 1000 * 1.1 = $1100 At the end of year 2 = 1100 + 1100 * (-0.2) = 1100 * (1 - 0.2) = 1100 * 0.8 = $880 At the end of year 3 = 880 + 880 * (0.1) = 880 * 1.1 = $968 The arithmetic mean for the rate of return is = [0.1 + (-0.2) + 0.1] / 3 = 0 The geometric mean for the same is = cubeRoot(1.1 * 0.8 * 1.1) = 0.989 Had the average rate of return actually been zero, the investment at the end of year 3 would have been $1000 itself (same as your initial investment), which is not the case. The geometric rate of return being 0.989 signifies that there was a (1 - 0.989) * 100 = 1.1% loss on average which caused the $1000 to end up at $968. Now from what I understand, since arithmetic mean is always greater than or equal to the geometric mean, it could be used by businesses to deceive unknowing investors showing them a higher rate of return on their sales.

Why in geometric mean example u multiply by 1.1 1st year and so on what is the logic can kindly reply to that
@farzinsabbagh3 жыл бұрын
because 10 percent gains in proportion can be written as 1.1, for example if you put 100 usd to a stock and it will end up to give you 10 percent return, it means you have 110 dollar at the end of the year. so you need to divide percent by 100 to make a proportion but doing that (10/100=0.1) gives you the profit, he simply wanted to say that you still have your original money in excess of your profit so the formula would be like this : Ee = Es * (1+(Precent / 100)) Where: Ee is you Equity or simply your money at the End Es is your Equity on start Percent is the percentage gain through a time interval (here year)
