Four definitions / formulations of average termed here as Arithmetic-Geometric Mean (abbreviated as AGM), ArithmeticHarmonic Mean (abbreviated as AHM), Geometric-Harmonic Mean (abbreviated as GHM) and Arithmetic-GeometricHarmonic (abbreviated as Mean AGHM) respectively have been derived / developed from the three Pythagorean means namely arithmetic mean (abbreviated as Mean AM), geometric mean (abbreviated as Mean GM) and harmonic mean (abbreviated as Mean HM) with an objective of developing of more accurate measures of central tendency of data. The derivations of these four formulations of average, with numerical examples, have been presented in this paper.
