Question

Growth factors for the population of Atlanta in the past five years have been 1, 2, 3, 4 , and 5. The geometric mean is a. . b. . c. . d. 15.

Answer 1

Answer:

The geometric mean of given data is approximately 2.6051

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following data in the question:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

We have to find the geometric mean.

Formula:

$(a_1\times a_2\times... \times a_n)^{\frac{1}{n}}$

Putting the values, we get,

$\text{Geometric mean} = (1\times 2\times 3\times 4 \times 5)^{\frac{1}{5}}\\=(120)^{\frac{1}{5}} \approx 2.6051$

Thus, the geometric mean of given data is approximately 2.6051
