what grade would i get on a test 15 questions that have two questions that are 2 points, two questions that are 4 points, and the rest are one. what score would i get out of one hundred if i got three of the one point questions wrong

1 answer

To calculate your score, we first need to determine the total points possible for the test and then how many points you earned based on the questions you got wrong.

  1. Total Points Possible:

    • There are 2 questions worth 2 points each: \(2 \times 2 = 4\) points
    • There are 2 questions worth 4 points each: \(2 \times 4 = 8\) points
    • There are 11 questions worth 1 point each: \(11 \times 1 = 11\) points
    • Total Points Possible = 4 + 8 + 11 = 23 points
  2. Points You Earned:

    • You got 3 out of the 11 one-point questions wrong, so you earned:
      • \(11 - 3 = 8\) points from the one-point questions.
    • You earned full points from the two 2-point questions and the two 4-point questions, so:
      • Points from 2-point questions = 4 points (since you got both right)
      • Points from 4-point questions = 8 points (since you got both right)

    Now, total points earned = points from one-point questions + points from two-point questions + points from four-point questions:

    • Total Points Earned = \(8 + 4 + 8 = 20\) points.
  3. Score out of 100: To find your score out of 100, use the following formula: \[ \text{Score} = \left( \frac{\text{Total Points Earned}}{\text{Total Points Possible}} \right) \times 100 \] \[ \text{Score} = \left( \frac{20}{23} \right) \times 100 \approx 86.96 \]

Thus, rounding to the nearest whole number, you would receive an approximate score of 87 out of 100.
