    The geometric mean dampens the effect of very high or low values compared to an arithmetic mean, which calculates a straight average and can be biased by outliers. It provides a more accurate central tendency for data that is multiplied rather than added.

    A geometric mean, unlike an arithmetic mean, tends to dampen the effect of very high or

    low values, which might bias the mean if a straight average (arithmetic mean) were
    calculated.
