Find the harmonic mean of $$$5$$$, $$$10$$$.
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 $$$\frac{1}{5} + \frac{1}{10} = \frac{3}{10}$$$.
Therefore, the harmonic mean is $$$H = \frac{2}{\frac{3}{10}} = \frac{20}{3}$$$.
Answer
The harmonic mean is $$$\frac{20}{3}\approx 6.666666666666667$$$A.
