The following article is inspired from https://brilliant.org/daily-problems/average-visual/ of March 17th, 2019. The Arithmetic Mean Sequence for any 2 numbers, a­1 and a2, is a progressive series of numbers where each number is the Arithmetic Mean of the previous 2 numbers, starting the sequence with a­1 and a2. Solving intermediary values in the sequence Let x … Continue reading Finding Intermediate Values in Arithmetic Mean Sequence

When dealing with sparse data or data that is distributed towards the edges (U-Shaped sample), finding the Arithmetic Mean or Medium can provide wrong information about the data distribution. A way to calculate the average in such scenarios is to find where the data peaks exist. This method is called Mode. The mathematical formula above … Continue reading Mode
