Answer:
3.5
Explanation:
Grade point average (GPA) is the summation of all the numbered grades obtained divided by the number of credits taken or total obtainable points multiply by the maximum point receivable for a course. This can be calculated as follows:
1. Calculation of Total Obtainable Points
Statistics = A × hrs = 4 × 3 = 12
Accounting = A × hrs = 4 × 3 = 12
History = A × hrs = 4 × 5 = 20
History of jazz = A × hrs = 4 × 2 = 8
Rules of basketball = A × hrs = 4 × 1 = 4
Total obtained points = 12 + 12 + 20 + 8 + 4 = 56
2. Calculation of Total Points Obtained
Statistics = A × hrs = 4 × 3 = 12
Accounting = A × hrs = 4 × 3 = 12
History = B × hrs = 3 × 5 = 15
History of jazz = B × hrs = 3 × 2 = 6
Rules of basketball = A × hrs = 4 × 1 = 4
Total Points Obtained = 12 + 12 + 15 + 6 + 4 = 49
3. Calculation of GPA
GPA = (Total Obtained Points ÷ Total Obtainable Points) × the points that A receives (i.e. maximum GPA)
= (49 ÷ 56) × 4
= 0.875 × 4
= 3.50
Therefore, Rolland Poust's GPA is 3.5 out of 4.
The measure of location that has just been calculated is mean. The mean is obtained by adding all the values and then divide it by the number of values.
Grade point average (GPA) is similar to mean because GPA is the summation of all the numbered grades obtained divided by the number of credits taken.
