There’s two formulas for geometric mean as per reading 7… equation 5 and equation 6.
It says not to use 5 when you have negative results, but if you use 5 and 6 on just positive results, you still get a different answer.
I used a series
0.05 0.1 0.25 0.17 0.03 geometric mean 0.091389
and the same series only using equation 6:
1.05 1.1 1.25 1.17 1.03 geometric mean 0.117128
When do we use one and when do we use the other? Shouldn’t we get the same result?
