Graphs are drawings that show mathematical information with lines, shapes, and colors.

Graphs are
also known as charts. People use graphs to compare amounts of things or other numbers. Graphs are
useful because they can be easier to understand than numbers and words alone.

Uses

Graphs allow you to visualise data or the behavior of something quickly, bypassing the intimidating
mathematics or models that the graph represents. If, as opposed to a simple line graph, a company
board were given a list of data points with corresponding profits, losses etc., the conclusions drawn
from this data would take longer to derive than simply looking at a line pointing upwards or
downwards over time.

A nurse, whose main background is not rooted deeply in maths, may struggle to interpret results of
medical data, were there not tools to express it.

Even myself, studying maths in higher education, am still only human. Visualising the behavior of
4(+)-D functions in a 3-D brain, or trying to visualise solutions to such functions, is exceedingly difficult.
Graphs help us build a bridge between the abstract and the real, and are indispensible to real life
problem solving and analysis.

Graphs can be very useful to monitor pupose of the body like heart rate, blood sugar levels,
cholesterol levels, temperature.

If you have asthma for example, you might required to graph your peak expiatory flow every day on a
chart to monitor your breathing. If the graph looked like it were taking a towards a lower place or
level turn, you would tell your doctor.
In certain situations, especially many situations involving rates and ratios,

the harmonic mean provides the truest average.

1 - For example, in first test a typist types 400 words in 50 minutes, in second test he types the same
words (400) in 40 minutes and in third test he takes 30 minutes to type the 400 words. Then average
time of typing can be calculated by harmonic mean.

2 - For instance, if a vehicle travels a certain distance d at a speed x (60 km/h) and then the same
distance again at a speed y (40 km/h), then its average speed is the harmonic mean of x and y (48
km/h).

3 - The weighted harmonic mean is the preferable method for averaging multiples, such as the price–
earnings ratio (P/E), in which price is in the numerator.

4 - In any triangle, the radius of the in circle is one-third of the harmonic mean of the altitudes.
 Suppose that I have a group of 10 people however I want to have a height to compare them all to. I
can add all of their heights together and divide it by 10. This gives me the average height and it allows
me to say that if I have a person (so person 11) from this same group I can guess that their height
would be the average height that I calculated.
