HP 11C (and Emulators): The Four Means

HP 11C (and Emulators):  The Four Means

Introduction

The following program uses the statistical registers to calculate four types of mean:

Arithmetic Mean:  μ = Σx / n

Harmonic Mean:  HM = n / Σ(1/x)

Geometric Mean:  GM = (Πx) ^ (1/n)

Root Mean Square:  RMS = √(Σx^2 / n)


The HP 11C uses the following registers in statistical analysis.  Be sure to clear registers by pressing [ f ] [ x<>y ] (CLEAR REG) before beginning.  Also, after clearing the registers, store 1 in register 7 (R7).  

R0 = n
R1 = Σx
R2 = Σx^2
R3 = Σy
R4 = Σy^2
R5 = Σxy

LBL A:  Enter data
LBL B:  Analysis: μ [R/S], HM [R/S], GM [R/S], RMS

HP 11C Program: The Four Means

Don't forget to store 1 in R7 prior to running the program.
