What is a weighted average?

Back

A weighted average takes into account the relative importance of each value, calculated by multiplying each value by its weight, summing these products, and then dividing by the total of the weights.

Calculate the mean of the following grades: 100, 96, 96, 88, 70, 100.

Back

Mean = (100 + 96 + 96 + 88 + 70 + 100) / 6 = 92.

If the test average is [65, 75, 82, 88, 95] and the final exam grade is 88, how do you calculate the weighted average?

Back

Weighted Average = (Test Average Total + Final Exam Grade) / Total Number of Grades.
