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 23%, and the final exam is worth 33%. Compute the weighted average for the following scores: 70 on the lab, 99 on the first major test, 91 on the second major test, and 90 on the final exam

Answer 1

70(0.21) + 99(0.23) + 91(0.23) + 90(0.33)
= 14.7 + 22.77 + 20.93 + 29.7
= 88.1%
