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 25%, and the final exam is worth 29%. Compute the weighted average for the following scores: 60 on the lab, 81 on the first major test, 69 on the second major test, and 79 on the final exam. Enter your answer as a whole number.

Answer:

[tex]Weighted\ Average = 73[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Lab = 21\%[/tex]

[tex]Tests = 25\%[/tex]

[tex]Exam = 29\%[/tex]

[tex]Lab\ Score = 60[/tex]

[tex]First\ Test = 81[/tex]

[tex]Second\ Test = 69[/tex]

[tex]Exam = 79[/tex]

Required

The weighted average

To do this, we simply multiply each score by the corresponding worth.

i.e.

[tex]Weighted\ Average = Lab\ worth * Lab\ score + Tests\ worth * Tests\ score.....[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]Weighted\ Average = 21\% * 60 + 25\% * 81 + 25\% * 69 + 29\% * 79[/tex]

Using a calculator, we have:

[tex]Weighted\ Average = 73.01[/tex]

[tex]Weighted\ Average = 73[/tex] --- approximated
