The final grade calculation discussed involves a course where the final exam accounts for 20% of the overall grade. The student had a 92% average before the final, which contributed 80% to the overall grade. After scoring 88% on the final, the calculations were performed as follows: 0.8 times 92 equals 73.6, and 0.2 times 88 equals 17.6, leading to a total of 91.2. Multiple participants confirmed that the calculation was correct. The final grade is indeed 91.2.

my instructor has everything in percentages not points. the final was 20% of the overall grade. up until the final (80% of the course) i had a 92%. and i received an 88% on the final exam. so what i did was 0.8*92=73.6 and then i did 0.2*88=17.6. i then added the two and i got 91.something. did i calculate my final grade right?

Thread 'Significant figures for inherently bound values'

I have been insisting to my statistics students that for probabilities, the rule is the number of significant figures is the number of digits past the leading zeros or leading nines.

That way the complementary probability can also be given to the same significant figures ( 0.999998766 and 0.00000008766 respectively). More generally if you have a value that...
