Questions: Review this student's 8 grades for her first semester and find the answers to the questions based on this student's grades. Cindy Lou Student's first semester final grades (student was enrolled one semester): Class CREDITS Grade HIST 141 3 B ENGL 102 3 F SOC 201 3 W MUS 135 2 C MATH 118 3 W UNIV 110 1 A How many credit hours did Cindy Lou attempt? How many credits did the student earn for her first semester? What is Cindy's completion rate? Will Cindy be in good standing?

Solution Steps

1. To find the total credit hours Cindy Lou attempted, sum the credits for all the classes listed.
2. To determine how many credits Cindy earned, sum the credits for classes where she received a passing grade (A, B, C, D).
3. To calculate Cindy's completion rate, divide the number of credits earned by the number of credits attempted and multiply by 100 to get a percentage.

To find the total credit hours attempted by Cindy Lou, we sum the credits for all classes: \[ \text{Total Attempted Credits} = 3 + 3 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 1 = 15 \]

Next, we determine the credits earned by summing the credits for classes where Cindy received passing grades (A, B, C, D). The only classes with passing grades are MUS 135 (C) and UNIV 110 (A): \[ \text{Earned Credits} = 2 + 1 = 3 \]

The completion rate is calculated by dividing the earned credits by the attempted credits and multiplying by 100 to express it as a percentage: \[ \text{Completion Rate} = \left( \frac{\text{Earned Credits}}{\text{Total Attempted Credits}} \right) \times 100 = \left( \frac{3}{15} \right) \times 100 = 20.0\% \]
