Question

In a course a student's final exam is weighted as heavily as his mid term exam.if a student receives a score of 84 on his final exam 90 on his midterm,what is the average for the course?

Answer 1

since they are of equal weight, their average is just the arithmetic average of the two scores: 87

Why do I suspect that the problem was misstated?

Answer 2

(84 + 90) / 2 = ?

Answer 3

The final exam is weighed the same as the mid term exam. Therefore, you can add the two numbers and divide by 2.

84 + 90 = 174

174/2 = 87 (answer).

Answer 4

In a course a student's final exam is weighted twice as heavily as his mid term exam.if a student receives a score of 84 on his final exam 90 on his midterm,what is the average for the course?
as final exam is weighted twice then
84*2=168
then 168+90=258
the average
258/3=86...is the ans right?

Answer 5

that looks better.
