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:

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

Step-by-step 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:

$\frac{(4*4) + (1*2) + (4*2) + (2*3) + (3*1)}{12}$ ≈ 2.92
