Find the harmonic mean of $$$9$$$, $$$\frac{9}{4}$$$.
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 $$$\frac{1}{9} + \frac{1}{\frac{9}{4}} = \frac{5}{9}$$$.
Therefore, the harmonic mean is $$$H = \frac{2}{\frac{5}{9}} = \frac{18}{5}$$$.
Answer
The harmonic mean is $$$\frac{18}{5} = 3.6$$$A.
