Questions: Compute BY HAND the final course grade for a student with the given scores below. a. SHOW ALL WORK. Remember that this is weighted average. b. Round your answer to nearest hundredth. Homework Average 82 Quiz Average 86 Excel Project 85 Finance Project 77 Tests 88,75,92

Solution Steps

To compute the final course grade using a weighted average, we need to multiply each component by its respective weight, sum these products, and then divide by the total weight. The weights for each component should be provided, but if not, we will assume equal weights for simplicity. Finally, we round the result to the nearest hundredth.

We have the following scores for the student:

• Homework Average: \( 82 \)
• Quiz Average: \( 86 \)
• Excel Project: \( 85 \)
• Finance Project: \( 77 \)
• Test Scores: \( 88, 75, 92 \)

To find the average test score, we compute: \[ \text{Average Test Score} = \frac{88 + 75 + 92}{3} = \frac{255}{3} = 85 \]

Assuming equal weights for each component, we have:

• Weight for Homework: \( 0.2 \)
• Weight for Quiz: \( 0.2 \)
• Weight for Excel Project: \( 0.2 \)
• Weight for Finance Project: \( 0.2 \)
• Weight for Tests: \( 0.2 \)

The final course grade is calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Final Grade} = (82 \times 0.2) + (86 \times 0.2) + (85 \times 0.2) + (77 \times 0.2) + (85 \times 0.2) \] Calculating each term: \[ = 16.4 + 17.2 + 17 + 15.4 + 17 = 83 \]
