Weighted arithmetic mean

Japanese: 加重相加平均 - かじゅうそうかへいきん
Weighted arithmetic mean

... If there are n numbers x1 , x2 , ..., xn , the sum of these numbers divided by the number n , ( x1 + x2 + ... + xn ) / n , is called the arithmetic mean of x1 , x2 , ..., xn . In contrast , if f1 , f2 , ..., fn are given positive numbers, the ratio ( f1 x1 + f2 x2 + ... + fn xn ) / ( f1 + f2 + ... + fn ) is called the weighted arithmetic mean , with weights f1 , f2 , ..., fn assigned to x1 , x2 , ... , xn respectively . For example, the mean value of a statistical data frequency distribution ( x1 , f1 ), ( x2 , f2 ), ..., (xn , fn ) is the weighted arithmetic mean, with the frequencies f1 , f2 , ..., fn as the weights.

*Some of the terminology explanations that mention "weighted arithmetic average" are listed below.

Japanese:

n個の数x1,x2,……,xnがあるとき,これらの数の和を個数nで割ったもの(x1x2+……+xn)/nx1,x2,……,xnの相加平均という。これに対して,f1,f2,……,fnをあたえられた正数とするとき,比(f1x1f2x2+……+fnxn)/(f1f2+……+fn)をx1,x2,……,xnにそれぞれ重みf1,f2,……,fnをつけた加重相加平均という。例えば,統計資料の度数分布(x1,f1),(x2,f2),……,(xn,fn)の平均値は,度数f1,f2,……,fnを重みとした加重相加平均である。…
