Preferred Label : harmonic mean;
IUPAC definition : The number of observations, divided by the sum of reciprocals of the observations.
Symbol: x h. It can be calculated with the formula: \[\bar{x}_{{h}} \frac{n}{\sum
x_{j} {-1}}\];
Scope note : as in the case of the geometric mean, this quantity is sometimes directly (but inappropriately)
calculated, for example, when evaluating kinetic analytical results where the reaction
time is inversely proportional to concentration.;
Origin ID : H02745;
