What is your average percentage for your tests this term?

Solution

To calculate the average percentage for your tests, follow these steps:

  1. List of marks:
    The marks you received on your tests are as follows:

    • 7, 12, 11, 15, 8, 23, 30
      Corresponding maximum marks are:
    • 12, 15, 40, 25, 10, 30, 50
  2. Convert each mark to percentage:
    To find the percentage for each test, divide the mark by the maximum mark and multiply by 100.
    Percentage for test 1=(712)×100=58.33%\text{Percentage for test 1} = \left(\frac{7}{12}\right) \times 100 = 58.33\% Percentage for test 2=(1215)×100=80%\text{Percentage for test 2} = \left(\frac{12}{15}\right) \times 100 = 80\% Percentage for test 3=(1140)×100=27.5%\text{Percentage for test 3} = \left(\frac{11}{40}\right) \times 100 = 27.5\% Percentage for test 4=(1525)×100=60%\text{Percentage for test 4} = \left(\frac{15}{25}\right) \times 100 = 60\% Percentage for test 5=(810)×100=80%\text{Percentage for test 5} = \left(\frac{8}{10}\right) \times 100 = 80\% Percentage for test 6=(2330)×100=76.67%\text{Percentage for test 6} = \left(\frac{23}{30}\right) \times 100 = 76.67\% Percentage for test 7=(3050)×100=60%\text{Percentage for test 7} = \left(\frac{30}{50}\right) \times 100 = 60\%

  3. Find the average percentage:
    Now, sum all the percentages and divide by the number of tests. Average percentage=58.33+80+27.5+60+80+76.67+607=442.57=63.21%\text{Average percentage} = \frac{58.33 + 80 + 27.5 + 60 + 80 + 76.67 + 60}{7} = \frac{442.5}{7} = 63.21\%

So, your average percentage for the tests this term is approximately 63.21%.

  2. What are some other methods to calculate weighted averages in case of tests with varying importance?
  3. How can I improve my test percentage on average?
  4. What factors affect the calculation of average percentages in exams?

Tip: To calculate averages quickly, always ensure you are dividing by the number of tests or subjects you are considering, and consider weighted averages if some tests are more important than others.
