How well do you understand weighted averages?
This is something that should be taught in public school. For one thing, a student’s grade is often a weighted average of quizzes, homework, final and class participation.
Here is a non-standard application. There is a Wordle game site that I like, that, after you finish a puzzle, they give the average number of guesses among players for the word. Suppose that the average number of guesses for a word is 4.4. If we make the simplifying assumption that everyone got it in 4 or 5 guesses, what percentage of the players got it in 4 guesses?
