We cannot determine the value of G.M

Given problem:    

If an observation in a series is negative its G.M. will​ ___?

Step-by-step explanation:

• if x₁, x₂, x₃ ... x$_{n}$ are be the observations in a data then

Geometric Mean of the data  G.M = $\sqrt[n]{x_{1} . x_{2}. x_{3}.. x_{n} }$    

• if one of the observation is negative then the value in square root will negative

                           ⇒  GM = $\sqrt[n]{-( x_{1}x_{2}... x_{n} ) }$  

• in that case we cannot determine the value of G.M
