WHAT DOES GEOMETRIC MEAN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Geometric mean

In mathematics, the geometric mean is a type of mean or average, which indicates the central tendency or typical value of a set of numbers by using the product of their values. The geometric mean is defined as the nth root of the product of n numbers. For instance, the geometric mean of two numbers, say 2 and 8, is just the square root of their product; that is. As another example, the geometric mean of the three numbers 4, 1, and 1/32 is the cube root of their product, which is 1/2; that is. A geometric mean is often used when comparing different items – finding a single "figure of merit" for these items – when each item has multiple properties that have different numeric ranges. For example, the geometric mean can give a meaningful "average" to compare two companies which are each rated at 0 to 5 for their environmental sustainability, and are rated at 0 to 100 for their financial viability.
