A student earned grades of Upper B​, Upper F​, Upper B​, Upper B​, and Upper C. Those courses had the corresponding numbers of credit hours 4​, 2​, 1​, 2​, and 2. The grading system assigns quality points to letter grades as​ follows: Aequals​4; Equals​3; Equals​2; Equals​1; Alphaequals0. 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

Answer:

the grade point average​ (GPA) of the student is 2.27

If the​ Dean's list requires a GPA of 3.00 or​ greater, the student did not make the Dean's list.

Explanation:

Given that:

A student grade are as follows:

B --- 3

F --- 0

B ---- 3

B ----- 3

C ------- 2

Those courses had the corresponding numbers of credit hours 4​, 2​, 1​, 2​, and 2.

The grading system assigns quality points to letter grades as​ follows:

A = 4; B=​3; C=​2; D=​1; F=0

The sample mean simply implies the sum of the products of the value and the weights divided by the total weights;

i.e


\overline x = (\sum xf)/(n )


\overline x = (3(4)+0(2)+3(1)+3(2)+2(2))/(4+2+1+2+2 )


\overline x = (12+0+3+6+4)/(11 )


\overline x = (25)/(11 )


\overline x = 2.27

the grade point average​ (GPA) of the student is 2.27

If the​ Dean's list requires a GPA of 3.00 or​ greater, the student did not make the Dean's list.
