Understand why↗
The geometric mean is essential for multiplicative growth because percentage increases compound on previous balances. Averaging percentages arithmetically ignores this compounding effect, whereas multiplying growth factors and taking the root preserves the total change.
Conditions: Dealing with multiplicative growth or decay; Equal time periods involved
