Question

a student has the following averages. homework: 94.5%, quizzes: 87.5%, midterm: 80%, final exam: 62%. find the students grade assuming these weights: homework (20%), quizzes (25%), midterm (25%), final exam (30%). what effect does the heavy - weight for the exam have in this case? complete the table below. (type integers or decimals rounded to two decimal places as needed.) category grade weight grade * weight homework 94.5 quizzes 87.5

Explanation:

Step1: Identify weights and grades

Homework grade = 94.5%, weight = 15%; Quiz grade = 87.5%, weight = 25%; Mid - term grade = 80%, weight = 20%; Final exam grade = 62%, weight = 40%.

Step2: Calculate grade - weight products for each category

Homework: $94.5\times0.15 = 14.175$
Quiz: $87.5\times0.25=21.875$
Mid - term: $80\times0.20 = 16$
Final exam: $62\times0.40=24.8$

Step3: Sum up the grade - weight products

$14.175 + 21.875+16 + 24.8=76.85$

Answer:

76.85
