Answer 1

There is a statistics library if you are using Python >= 3.6:

https://docs.python.org/3/library/statistics.html

You may use its mean method like this. Let's say you have a list of numbers of which you want to find mean:

list = [11, 13, 12, 15, 17]
import statistics as s
s.harmonic_mean(list)

It has other methods too like stdev, variance, mode, mean, median etc which too are useful.
