Geometric mean of $$$4$$$, $$$17$$$

Find the geometric mean of $$$4$$$, $$$17$$$.

The geometric mean of data is given by the formula $$$\left(\prod_{i=1}^{n} x_{i}\right)^{\frac{1}{n}}$$$, 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 product of the values is $$$\left(4\right)\cdot \left(17\right) = 68$$$.

Therefore, the geometric mean is $$$\sqrt{68} = 2 \sqrt{17}$$$.

The geometric mean is $$$2 \sqrt{17}\approx 8.246211251235321$$$A.
