Question

Professor Cramer determines a final grade based on attendance, two papers, three major tests, and a final exam. Each of these activities has a total of 100 possible points. However, the activities carry different weights. Attendance is worth 3%, each paper is worth 5%, each test is worth 15%, and the renal is worth 42%. (a) what is the average for a student with 79 on attendance, 84 on the first paper, 67 on the second paper, 80 on test 1, middot67 on test 2, 61 on test 3, and 79 on the final exam? (b) Compute the average for a student with the above scores on the papers, tests, and final exam, but with a score of only 23 on attendance.

Explanation / Answer

a) Multiply weights by points:

Points = 0.03 * 79 + 0.05 (84 + 67) + 0.15 (80 + 67 + 61) + 0.42 * 79

Points = 74.3

b) Points = 0.03 * 23 + 0.05 (84 + 67) + 0.15 (80 + 67 + 61) + 0.42 * 79

Points = 72.6
