difference between median and geometric mean


Arithmetic mean (Generally known as Mean)
Geometric mean
Median
The arithmetic mean is calculated by adding up all the numbers in a data set and dividing the result by the total number of data points.
The geometric mean of a data set is calculated by multiplying the numbers in the data set, and taking the nth root of the result, where "n" is the total number of data points in the set.
The median of a data set is the middle number when the set is sorted in numerical order. For odd number of data points, take the value in the middle. In an even-numbered data set, you take the mean of the middle two numbers.
Arithmetic mean of 10,12,13,200 = (10 + 12 + 13 + 200) / 4 = 58.75
Geometric  mean of 10,12,13,200 = 4th root of (10 * 12 * 13 * 200) = 23.63
Median of 10,12,13,200 = (12 + 13) / 2 = 12.5
Median of 10,12,13,15,200 = 13
Use when no outliers
Use when there are outliers
When there is good difference between Median and Mean, then we need to look into the data set ever deeper... May be there is a need to apply other statistical methods…
