Question

We often deal with weighted means, in which different data values carry different weights in the calculation of the mean. For example, if the final exam counts for 50% of your final grade and 2 midterms each count for 25%, then you must assign weights of 50% and 25 % to the final and midterms, respectively, before computing the mean score for the term. Apply the idea of weighted mean in the following exercise. A student has completed 14 credits in the table to the right during one semester. Grades are weighted so that A =4.0 ; A- = 3.17; B+ = 3.4; B = 3.0; B - =2.7; C+ = 2.4 and C = 2.0 Answer parts a and b below.

a. Find the students GPA for the semester

Answer 1

Since you have not given the table with courses

Let me give you an example solution on how to solve such type of problems

Here I have assigned some random credits to some courses .

Following this you can easily solve your problem.
