Question

In professor Hoepker's class, there are X tests and a final. At the end of the semester, the lowest Y test scores are dropped and the remaining test scores and the final (which has twice the weight of a test) are averaged to compute the average score for the entire class. The final cannot be dropped. Going into the final, student Kaytee has an average of W on the X tests. The sum of her lowest Y test scores is L. Her final exam score is S. Find her average score G in the class in terms of X, Y, W, L, and S.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Kaytee's total points are WX + 2S − L.  The total number of exams is W − Y + 2.  Therefore:

G = (WX + 2S − L) / (X − Y + 2)
