The weighted average of coordinate 3 which has a weight of 2, and the coordinate
8 which has a weight of 3 is 6.
We have been given the coordinates with their specific weights. Thus we will find the weighted average.
Weighted average is a calculation that takes into account the varying degrees of importance of the numbers in a data set. The formula to find the weighted average is given by
W = Σwixi/Σwi (1)
Where, xi = are the variable
wi = are specific weights for the variable
First we will find , Σwixi = w1x1 + w2x2
Here w1 = 3 , x1 = 2
w2 = 8, x2 = 3
Putting these values we get,
Σwixi = 3*2 + 8*3
= 6 + 24
= 30
Also, Σwi = w1 + w2
= 2 + 3
= 5
Putting the required values in equation (1) we get,
W = 30/5
W = 6
Thus, the weighted average is 6
