Your Input

Find the harmonic mean of $$$19$$$, $$$27$$$.

Solution

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 $$$\frac{1}{19} + \frac{1}{27} = \frac{46}{513}$$$.

Therefore, the harmonic mean is $$$H = \frac{2}{\frac{46}{513}} = \frac{513}{23}$$$.

Answer

The harmonic mean is $$$\frac{513}{23}\approx 22.304347826086957$$$A.
