Question

Michael gets test grades of 73, 77, 82, and 86. He gets a 93 on his final exam. Find the weighted mean if the tests each count for 15% and the final exam counts for 40% of the final grade. Round to one decimal place.

Answer 1

Answer:

84.9

Step-by-step explanation:

The weighted mean is given by the sum of the products of each grade by its respective weight. If the first four grades correspond to 15% of the final grade each, and the final exam is equivalent to 40% of the final grade, Michael's final grade is:

$G= (73+77+82+86)*0.15+(93*0.4)\\G= 84.9$

Michael's final weighted mean is 84.9.
