Question

Final grades are often computed using weighted averages. Some college professors use complicated weighted averages. The college professor tells you he will give you a 33% to 67% split on grades between tests and homework where which ever average is higher will be the 67%. What was your final grade be if your homework average is 52 and your test average is 71?

Answer 1

Using weighed mean, it is found that the final grade is 64.73.

--------------------------

To find the weighed average, we multiply each grade by it's weight.

--------------------------

Since we want to find the weighed average, we have to identify in the text the grades, and it's respective weighs.

• Grade of 71, with a weight of 67%(as it states in the text, the higher grade has a weight of 67%).
• Grade of 52, with a weight of 33%(as it states in the text, the lower grade has a weight of 33%).

Thus, the final grade is:

$F = 71\times0.67 + 52\times0.33 = 64.73$

The final grade was of 64.73.
