Question

A student at a local college just completed 11 credit hours. His grade report is presented below.

Course Credit Hours Grade
Calculus 4 B
Biology 3 C
Orientation 1 A
English 3 D
The university uses a four-point grading system, i.e., A = 4, B = 3, C = 2, D = 1, F = 0. What is the student's grade point average for this semester?
a. 2.27
b. 2.5
c. 2.75
d. 4.

Answer 1

Option c (2.27) is the right option.

Explanation:

As per the question, the values are:

Credit hours Grade fiXi

(fi) (Xi)

4 B = 3 12

3 C = 2 6

1 A = 4 4

3 D = 1 3

Now,

`\Sigma fi= 25`

`\Sigma fiXi = 25`

hence,

The average will be:

=
`(\Sigma fiXi)/(\Sigma fi)`

On putting the values, we get

=
`(25)/(11)`

=
`2.27`
