Harmonic Mean of Three Positive Values Calculator
harmonic mean. Example: A: 2 units, B: 2 units, C: 2 units gives 2 units. Exactly three positive quantities; applicability to real rate problems depends on what is equally weighted. Elementary arithmetic over the accepted finite domain. No statistical population inference, supplied-data validity claim or specialist recommendation.
Exactly three positive quantities; applicability to real rate problems depends on what is equally weighted. Elementary arithmetic over the accepted finite domain. No statistical population inference, supplied-data validity claim or specialist recommendation. Derivation: Take reciprocal of mean reciprocal.
Accepted inputs: A: 0.001 to 10,000 units; B: 0.001 to 10,000 units; C: 0.001 to 10,000 units.
How the calculation works
harmonic mean = 3/(1/a+1/b+1/c)
Worked example
With a 2 units, b 2 units, c 2 units, harmonic mean is 2 units.
