Fig trees, shrubs and lianas are found in the genus Ficus, which is a part of the fig or mulberry family (Moraceae). Most of them are found in the tropical regions of the world. There are some that can live in the warmer temperate areas. Many species may turn invasive in the right location.
Arithmetic Mean. Turns out that there's more than one way to calculate the mean of a distribution. The method we probably associate with the average, is also known as the arithmetic mean. The arithmetic mean is calculated by adding up all the numbers in a data set and dividing the result by the total number of data points. Example: Arithmetic mean of 11, 13, 17 and 1,000 = (11 + 13 + 17 + 1,000) / 4 = 260.25. Geometric Mean. There is another way to calculate the mean, known as the geometric mean.
The first step in calculating the Geometric Mean using this method is to determine the logarithm of each data point using your calculator. Next, add all of the data point logarithms together and divide this sum by the number of data points (n). In other words, take the average of the logs.
