cussion Board 4 – Weighted Average & Geometric Mean
. Listed below are the number of items sold and the profit associated with it. For clarity purposes, the first column of the chart states the dollar amount (st amount is negative $5, meaning a loss and the second amount is $0, which is showing as $ -, which represents breakeven) and the second column is the frequency.
A. Using that information what is the weighted average for the Profit of all the sales? (round to the nearest penny)
B. What is the median profit for all the items sold?
2. The following information is from a syllabus for a stats class. Use this information to answer the 2 questions that follow. There are 3 tests that account for 75% (25% each) of your grade and 6 DB’s that account for 25% (all 6 together) of your grade. The Test scores (each out of 00) and DB scores vary as for how much each is worth, listed below are all the scores before Test 3 (Final).

4. Tuition in year were $8,000 and after 4 years of growth, tuition were $26,500. What is the average growth rate (geometric mean) over this 4-year period of time? (convert to % and round to 3 decimal places – example 2.063%)
