In mathematics, the harmonic mean (sometimes called the subcontrary mean) is one of several kinds of average, and in particular one of the Pythagorean means. Typically, it is appropriate for situations when the average of rates is desired. The harmonic mean can be expressed as the reciprocal of the arithmetic mean of the reciprocals. As a simple example, the harmonic mean of 1, 2, and 4 is 3 1 1 + 1 2 + 1 4 = 1 1 3 ( 1 1 + 1 2 + 1 4 ) = 12 7 .
The average, or arithmetic mean, of a series of items means you simply add up all the item values and divide by the total number of items to calculate the average. A weighted average is an average where each value has a specific weight or frequency assigned to it.
