Question

A student earned grades of Upper AA​, Upper DD​, Upper AA​, Upper CC​, and Upper BB. Those courses had the corresponding numbers of credit hours 44​, 22​, 22​, 33​, and 11. The grading system assigns quality points to letter grades as​ follows: Aequals=​4; Bequals=​3; Cequals=​2; Dequals=​1; Fequals=0. Compute the grade point average​ (GPA) as a weighted mean and round the result with two decimal places. If the​ Dean's list requires a GPA of 3.00 or​ greater, did this student make the​ Dean's list? The grade point average is nothing. ​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.) Did this student make the​ Dean's list? A. Yes because at least two of the student grades are B or above B. No because the students GPA is not 4.0 C. NoNo because the student has at least one grade lessless than 3 D. NoNo because the​ student's GPA is lessless than 3.0

Answer 1

• The grade point average is 2.92

• The student didn't make the​ Dean's list because the​ student's GPA is less than 3.0

Explanation:

• I take the grades as A,D,A,C,B not AA​,DD​,AA​,CC​,BB.

• I take numbers of credit hours as 4,2,2,3,1 not as 44​, 22​, 22​, 33​, and 11.

Since quality points to letter grades are A=​4; B=​3; C=​2; D=​1; F=0, weighted mean is the sum of the qulity points times corresponding credit hours divided by the total credit hours:

`((4*4) + (1*2) + (4*2) + (2*3) + (3*1))/(12)` ≈ 2.92

Since 2.92<3.0, the student is not in Dean's list.
