Question

In your biology class, your final grade is based on several things: a lab score, scores on two major tests, and your score on the final exam. There are 100 points available for each score. However, the lab score is worth 21% of your total grade, each major test is worth 24%, and the final exam is worth 31%. Compute the weighted average for the following scores: 90 on the lab, 98 on the first major test, 71 on the second major test, and 79 on the final exam.

Answer 1

Answer:

the weighted score is 82.03

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the weighted score is as follows

= Respective scores × respective test or exam and score

= 0.21 × 90 + 0.24 × 71 + 0.24 × 71 + 0.31 × 79

= 18.9 + 21.6 + 17.04 + 24.49

= 82.03

Hence, the weighted score is 82.03

We simply applied the above formula so that the weighted score could be come
