## Description
|
|
<section id='description'>
|
|
<p>Compute the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root mean square" title="wp: Root mean square">Root mean square</a> of the numbers 1 through 10 inclusive.</p>
|
|
<p>The root mean square is also known by its initials RMS (or rms), and as the quadratic mean.</p><p>The RMS is calculated as the mean of the squares of the numbers, square-rooted:</p>
|
|
<p><big>$$x_{\mathrm{rms}} = \sqrt {{{x_1}^2 + {x_2}^2 + \cdots + {x_n}^2} \over n}. $$</big></p>
