=^15 (0.3010 + 0.6021 + 0.7782 + 0.9031 + 1.0000) = 51 × 3.5844 = 0.7169
∴ G. M. = antilog 0.7169 = 5.211

Again A.M. = 51 (2+4+6+8+10) =^15 × 30 = 6
We get A.M. =6, G. M. = 5.211, H.M. = 4.379 i.e. A.M. ≥ G. M. ≥ H. M
Note : In only one case the above relation is not true. When all the variates are equal, we will find that
AM = GM = HM
Example 24 : A.M. and G.M. of two observations are respectively 30 and 18. Find the observations. Also find
H.M.
Now x y 2 + =^30 or, x + y = 60 .......(1) again xy 18=
Or, xy = 324 or, (60 – y). y = 324, from (1)
Or, y^2 – 60 y + 324 = 0 or, (y –54) (y –6) = 0, y = 54, 6
∴y = 54 , x = 6 or, y = 6, x = 54.
∴ Required observations are 6, 54.
