A student earned grades of A,B,B,C, and D. Those courses had these corresponding numbers of credit hours: 3,3 . 3.4, and 2. The grading system assigns quality points to letter grades as follows: A=4;B=3;C=2;D=1;F=0. Compute the grade-point average (GPA). If the dean's list requires a GPA of 3.00 or greater, did this student make the dean's list? The student's GPA is (Type an integer or decimal rounded to two decimal places as needed.)

The student earned grades of A,B,B,C, and D with corresponding credit hours of 3, 3, 3, 4 and 2. The quality points assigned to the grades are:

A = 4, B = 3, C = 2, D = 1, F = 0.

We need to calculate the student's GPA using the following formula:

GPA = (total quality points earned) / (total credit hours) Total credit hours = 3+3+3+4+2 = 15 Quality points earned = (4 × 3) + (3 × 3) + (3 × 3) + (2 × 2) + (1 × 2) = 4(3)+3(3)+3(3)+2(2)+1(2) = 12+9+9+4+2 = 36.

Therefore, the student's GPA = (total quality points earned) / (total credit hours) = 36/15 ≈ 2.40. The student's GPA is 2.40 which is less than the required GPA of 3.00 for the Dean's list.

So, the student did not make the Dean's list.
