Question

A professor grades students on four tests, a term paper, and a final examination. Each test counts as 15% of the course grade. The term paper counts as 20% of the course grade. The final examination counts as 20% of the course grade. Alan has test scores of
92, 78, 82, and 90.
Alan received an 80 on his term paper. His final examination score was 86. Use the weighted mean formula to find Alan's average for the course. (Round your answer to one decimal place.)

Answer 1

Answer:

The Alans's average for the course is 84.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given

There are 4 tests, A Term paper and a Final examination.

Score = 92, 78, 82, 90.

Term paper score = 80

Final examination score = 86

Weighted mean = ∑ w.f/∑w

     also the sum of all the weights is 100% = 1

weighted mean = 15%*92 + 15%*78+15%*82+15%*90+20%*80+20%*86/1

                         = 51.3 + 33.2

                         =  84.5

Therefore the Alans's average for the course is 84.5
