Question

In your biology class, your final grade is based on several things: a lab score, scores on two major tests, and your score on the final exam. There are 100 points available for each score. However, the lab score is worth 23% of your total grade, each major test is worth 22.5%, and the final exam is worth 32%. Compute the weighted average for the following scores: 96 on the lab, 64 on the first major test, 62 on the second major test, and 69 on the final exam.

Answer 1

72.51

Explanation:

Given that :

Lab score % = 23%

Each Major test % = 22.5%

Final exam % = 32%

Score :

Lab score = 96

First Major test = 64

Second major test = 62

Final exam = 69

Hence,

Weighted average = Σ(weight % * score)

Weighted average = Σweight_1*score_1 +.. Weight_n * score_n)

(0.23 * 96) + (0.225 * 64) + (0.225 * 62) + (0.32 * 69) = 72.51
