Applications of lists
Lists calculations can be applied to the calculation of statistical quantities, if the list represent
a numerical sample of data, for example:

(1) Arithmetic, geometric and harmonic means.

The arithmetic mean of a list X = {x1, x2, …, xn} is defined as

1 n
x= ∑ xi
n i =1

The geometric mean of a list X = {x1, x2, …, xn} is defined as

x g = n x1 ⋅ x 2 ⋅ " ⋅ x n

Page 8-3
 The harmonic mean of a list X = {x1, x2, …, xn} is defined as:

1
xh = n
1 1
∑
n i =1 xi

Using lists to calculate these quantities:

• Arithmetic mean: sum(X)/dim(X)

• Geometric mean: (product(X))^(1/dim(X))
• Harmonic mean: (sum(X^(-1))/dim(X))^(-1)

Determine the arithmetic, geometric, and the harmonic means of the following list of
data values: { 1.25, 1.85, 1.02, 1.75, 1.35, 1.22, 1. 45, 1.68, 1.72, 1.25, 1.22}

(2) Variance. The variance of a list {x1, x2, …, xn} is defined as

1 n
s x2 = ∑ ( xi − x ) 2 ,
n − 1 i =1

To calculate the variance, first store the arithmetic mean into a variable, say, m. Use
the following:

• Store list in X
• Store sum(X)/dim(X) in m
• Calculate the variance: sum((X – m)^2)/(dim(X)-1)

(3) Weighted average.

Given a list X= {x1, x2, …, xn} with associated weights W = {w1, w2, …, wn}, the weighted
average of the list X is defined as

∑x i ⋅ wi
xw = i =1
n
.
∑w
i =1
i

This can be implemented as: sum(X*W)/sum(W)

Calculate the weighted average of a list of numbers

x = { 0.5, 1.5, 1.2, 1.3, 1.7, 1.8, 1.2},

with weights
w = {2, 3, 3, 1, 2, 3, 4}.

(4) One-dimensional center of mass. Given a list of point masses m = {m1, m2, …, mn}
located at positions x = {x1, x2, …, xn} along a line, the location of the center of mass of
this collection of masses is given by

Page 8-4
 n

∑x i ⋅ mi
xcm = i =1
n
.
∑m
i =1
i

This formula essentially describes a weighted average of the masses, mi, with the
weights being the locations of the masses, xi. Determine the location of the center of
mass, xcm, for the following mass configuration:

(5) Two-dimensional center of mass. A two dimensional distribution of point masses can
be described by a list of masses m = {m1, m2, …, mn} located at points P = { (x1,y1),
(x2,y2) …, (xn,yn) } on the x-y plane. The center of mass of this collection of masses is
the point Pcm(xcm,ycm) with
n n

∑x i ⋅ mi ∑y i ⋅ mi
xcm = i =1
n
, y cm = i =1
n
.
∑m
i =1
i ∑m
i =1
i

Determine the coordinates of the center of mass of the following two-dimensional mass
configuration:

(6) Grouped data.
Grouped data is the result of a frequency distribution from a large data sample. An
example is shown below. If X = {x1, x2, …, xn} represent the class mark of the classes,
and their associated frequencies are F = {f1, f2, …, fn}, the mean of the data is defined
as

∑x i ⋅ fi
x= i =1
n
.
∑f
i =1
i

The variance of the data is defined as:

n
n
s2 = ⋅ ∑ ( xi − x ) 2 ⋅ f i
⎛ 2 n 2⎞
⎜ n − ∑ fi ⎟
i =1

⎝ i =1 ⎠
The standard deviation is the square root of the variance.

Using lists, we can calculate the mean, variance, and standard deviation of grouped
data as follows:

• Store lists X and F

• The mean is: sum(X*F)/sum(F)
• Store the mean into variable m
• The variance is: (dim(X)/(dim(X)^2-sum(F^2))*sum((X-m)^2*F)
• Calculate the square root of the variance

The following table shows the grouped data of concrete density (kg/m3) obtained from
a frequency distribution of density data.

Class Class Frequency

Number mark count
1 2405 12
2 2415 18
3 2425 23
4 2435 25
5 2445 32
6 2455 22
7 2465 18
8 2475 12
9 2485 8
10 2495 4

Calculate (a) the mean value, (b) the variance, and (c) the standard deviation (square
root of the variance), of the grouped data shown.
