i have 78% in the course
the exam is worth 30% and i got 65%
what is my overall mark in the course
From your data, this is what I have:
.78 + (.3 * .65) = .78 + .195 = .975 = 97.5%
Sorry, I goofed. Anonymous in your previous post is right.
However, please only post your questions once. Repeating posts will not get a quicker response. In addition, it wastes our time looking over reposts that have already been answered in another post. Thank you.
To calculate your overall mark in the course, you need to consider the weightage of both your previous course work and the exam. Here's how you can calculate it:
1. Calculate the weighted mark for your previous coursework: Multiply your course mark (78%) by the weightage (70% or 0.70 since the exam is worth 30%). This gives you: 78% * 0.70 = 54.6%.
2. Calculate the weighted mark for your exam: Multiply your exam mark (65%) by the weightage (30% or 0.30 since the exam is worth 30%). This gives you: 65% * 0.30 = 19.5%.
3. Add the weighted marks together: Add the weighted mark for your previous coursework (54.6%) with the weighted mark for your exam (19.5%). This gives you: 54.6% + 19.5% = 74.1%.
Therefore, your overall mark in the course is 74.1%.
