How much does college tuition cost? That depends, of course, on where you go to college. Construct a weighted average. Using the data from "College Affordable for Most," estimate midpoints for the cost intervals. Say 46% of tuitions cost about $4,500; 21% cost about $7,500; 7% cost about $12,000; 8% cost about $18,000; 9% cost about $24,000; and 9% cost about $31,000. Compute the weighted average of college tuition charged at all colleges.
