Program for weighted mean of natural numbers.

04 May, 2022
There are given an array of natural numbers and another array with corresponding weight of the number. Then we have to calculate the weighted mean.  
Where x (bar) is called the weighted mean, x[i] is the elements of array, and W[i] is the weight of elements of array x[i].
Examples –  
Input : 
X[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}
W[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10} 
weighted mean 
= (W[0] * X[0] + W[1] * X[1] + W[2] * X[2] + . . . +
   W[n-1] * X[n-1]) / (W[0] + W[1] + W[2] + . . . + W[n-1])
= (1 * 1 + 2 * 2 + 3 * 3 + . . . + 10 * 10) /
  (1 + 2 + 3 + . . . + 10)
= 385 / 55 = 7
Output : 7

Input : 
X[] = {3, 4, 5, 6, 7}
W[] = {4, 5, 6, 7, 8}
weighted mean 
= (W[0] * X[0] + W[1] * X[1] + W[2] * X[2] + . . . +
   W[n-1] * X[n-1]) / (W[0] + W[1] + W[2] + . . . + W[n-1])
= (3 * 4 + 4 * 5 + 5 * 6 + 6 * 7 + 7 * 8) / 
  (4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8)
= 160 / 30 = 5.33333
Output : 5.33333

Second method – to compute the weighted mean of first n natural numbers. It is the formula to compute the weighted mean of first n natural numbers. In this method, we have given first n natural number and their weight are also be the natural numbers. Then we generate the formula
Weighted Mean 
= (W[0] * X[0] + W[1] * X[1] + W[2] * X[2] + . . . +
      W[n-1] * X[n-1]) / (W[0] + W[1] + W[2] + . . . + W[n-1])
= (1 * 1 + 2 * 2 + 3 * 3 + . . . + n * n) / (1 + 2 + 3 + . . . + n)
= (n * (n + 1) * (2 * n + 1) / 6) / (n * (n + 1) / 2)

Weighted Mean = (2 * n + 1) / 3
 
Example: Weighted mean of first 10 natural numbers 
n = 10
Weighted mean 
= (2 * 10 + 1) / 3 = 21 / 3 = 7
