A weighted average gives bigger assessments more influence on your final mark.
Universities use weighting to reflect difficulty and importance. A final exam usually carries more weight than a short quiz.
Weighted Average = Σ(Score% × Weight)
If your weights are 20%, 30%, and 50%, your final mark is not a simple average. The 50% item dominates.
Final = 61.5%
