QuestionCalculate the final score based on weights: midterm (5\%), project (15\%), homework (30\%), final (50\%). Scores: midterm 66, project 99, homework 76, final 72. What is the final score and letter grade?
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The midterm counts as of the final grade. The class project counts as of the final grade3. The homework assignments count as of the final grade4. The final exam counts as of the final grade5. The student's scores are Midterm -66, Project -99, Homework -76, Final exam -726. The grading scale is as follows A -90 or above, B -80 to89, C -70 to79, D -60 to69, F - below60
STEP 2
First, we need to calculate the weighted score for each component of the final grade. The weighted score is calculated by multiplying the score by the weight of the component.
STEP 3
Calculate the weighted score for the midterm.
STEP 4
Convert the percentage to a decimal value.
STEP 5
Calculate the weighted midterm score.
STEP 6
Repeat steps3 to5 to calculate the weighted scores for the project, homework, and final exam.
STEP 7
Now that we have the weighted scores for each component, we can add them up to get the overall final score.
STEP 8
Plug in the values for the weighted scores to calculate the overall final score.
STEP 9
Calculate the overall final score.
STEP 10
Now that we have the overall final score, we can determine the letter grade. According to the grading scale, a score of76.95 falls into the C range.
The student's overall final score is76.95, which corresponds to a C grade.
