A teacher wants to calculate Gabriel's final weighted average.
The following are Gabriel's exam results:
What is Gabriel's final average?
To calculate Gabriel's final weighted average, we'll use the formula for a weighted average:
Weighted Average=(Test 1 Grade×Weight 1)+(Exam Grade×Weight 2)+(Test 2 Grade×Weight 3)+(Project Grade×Weight 4)
Next, calculate the contribution of each component:
- Test 1 Contribution: 84×0.30=25.2
- Exam Contribution: 73×0.15=10.95
- Test 2 Contribution: 87×0.35=30.45
- Project Contribution: 92×0.20=18.4
Now, add all these contributions to find the final weighted average:
Weighted Average=25.2+10.95+30.45+18.4=85
Therefore, Gabriel's final weighted average is 85.
