define, calculate, and interpret measures of central tendency, including the population mean, sample mean, arithmetic mean, weighted average or mean (including a portfolio return viewed as a weighted mean), geometric mean, harmonic mean, median, and mode

Unless all the observations in a dataset have the same value, the harmonic mean is less than the geometric mean, and the geometric mean is less than the arithmetic mean.
