Question

Quick question: My final exam today is worth 25% of my final grade, what score would I need to get on the final to pass with a 4.0???

So far I have:
95/100 on Exam 1.
90/100 on Exam 2.

Answer 1

I'm really taking a final today.

Answer 2

it depends on the range of 4.0 is it 95-100?

Answer 3

4.0 ranges from 90-100

Answer 4

You have to get at least the lowest range of an A

Answer 5

it actually depends on the percentage of the final exam...percentage of the quizzes..and all other rubrics...

Answer 6

You have two other exams that weight more than your final exam?

Answer 7

so as for your problem i'll choose E. not enough information given :P

Answer 8

How is the grade determined? Total points obtained / Total points available? Or 75% based on exams and 25% based on final?

Answer 9

75% for exams one and two. 25% for the final.

Answer 10

average of 2 quizzes * 0.75 + 0.25x = 90
ave = 185/2 = 92.5

92.5 * 0.75 + 0.25x = 90
0.25x = 90 - 69.375
0.25x = 20.625
x = 82.5 pts

Answer 11

these are the times i love algebra \m/ hehe

Answer 12

OK, and does the class depend upon points earned? e.g. you earned 95 points of 100 on exam1, so your average is a 95, then you earned 90 out 100 on exam2, so you earned a total of 185/200 = .925. If we assume it just works off the final grade, then you have the equation:

(.75)(185/200) + (.25)(FINAL EXAM points earned/points total) = .9
(.75) * (.925) + (.25) * (FPE/FPT) = .9
(.9 - (.75)*(.925))/.25 = (FPE/FPT)

Answer 13

Yes points earned, and Thanks guys!

Answer 14

But that you can aim for higher than .9, in fact aiming for a 100 would be the best scenario of course ;)

Answer 15

lol yeah for sure. I hope to pass the final lol

Answer 16

Are averages weighted? or are they all the same?

Answer 17

If one test counts more than another, then you have to do calculations differently.

Answer 18

lol i think you pass the subject without the finals already :P what subject is that?

Answer 19

Nevermind, read the posts above, and your problem is solved.

Answer 20

Biochemistry :X lol

Answer 21

Eh. Biochem doesn't need that much math.

Answer 22

Yeah. It's a lot of pressure trying to get decent grades. I'm taking other classes, and the workload they give is almost super tiresome. I think i might do okay.......Hopefully lol.

Answer 23

Just don't do anything engineering. I mean, that would suck.

Answer 24

Engineering requires a lot of math <--my weakest subject lol. I'll stick to science for now. haha
