Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's first address each problem from the image you've uploaded.
Problem 3:
You are asked to determine a student's final grade based on:
- Quiz score: 85
- Midterm score: 75
- Final Exam score: 83
The formula for the final grade is given as:
- 20% of the average quiz score,
- 30% of the final exam score,
- 50% of the midterm score.
Step-by-step solution:
-
Average Quiz Score: Since only one quiz score (85) is provided, the average quiz score is just 85.
-
Weighting each component:
- 20% of the average quiz score:
- 30% of the final exam score:
- 50% of the midterm score:
-
Final Grade: Now sum these up:
Thus, the student's final grade is 79.4.
Problem 4:
Here, you're asked to compute the weighted mean for three questions and then interpret the result using the given table.
To compute the weighted mean for each question, we follow this formula: where:
- The frequencies are given in the table (e.g., 15, 20, etc.),
- The ratings are 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1, corresponding to the level of agreement.
Example for Question 1:

Total number of responses:
-
Weighted Mean for Question 1:
This falls into the "Strongly Agree" (SA) category based on the interpretation table (4.20–5.00).
You can repeat this process for Questions 2 and 3.
Do you need further details on the weighted mean for the other questions? Feel free to ask!
Follow-up Questions:
- What would happen if the weightings were different, say, 40% for the final exam?
- How do you compute weighted means for categorical data?
- Can you explain how the range of means (e.g., 1.00–1.79) corresponds to the different interpretations in Problem 4?
- If the final grade formula changed, how would that affect the student’s score?
- How would you calculate the standard deviation for the quiz scores?
Tip:
In weighted means, the weights should always sum to 1 (or 100%) to represent the whole distribution properly.
