Harmonic mean of $$$1$$$, $$$13$$$

Find the harmonic mean of $$$1$$$, $$$13$$$.

The harmonic mean of data is given by the formula $$$H = \frac{n}{\sum_{i=1}^{n} \frac{1}{x_{i}}}$$$, where $$$n$$$ is the number of values and $$$x_i, i=\overline{1..n}$$$ are the values themselves.

Since we have $$$2$$$ points, $$$n = 2$$$.

The sum of the reciprocals of the values is $$$\frac{1}{1} + \frac{1}{13} = \frac{14}{13}$$$.

Therefore, the harmonic mean is $$$H = \frac{2}{\frac{14}{13}} = \frac{13}{7}$$$.

The harmonic mean is $$$\frac{13}{7}\approx 1.857142857142857$$$A.
