Thus, the geometric mean of list S is s

Weighted average

Suppose that the data in list S, defined above, namely:
is affected by the weights,
W = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}
If we define the weight list as W = {w
element in list W, above, can be defined by w
SEQ to generate this list, and then store it into variable @@@W@@@ as follows:
Given the data list {s
weighted average of the data in S is defined as
To calculate the weighted average of the data in list S with the weights in list W,
we can use th e following steps:
1. Multiply lists S and W:
2. Use function LIST in this result to calculate the numerator of s
S = {1,5,3,1,2,1,3,4,2,1}
