This problem deals with “Weighted Average”

I figure out how to do the problem alright. I checked the answer in the back of the book to be sure i was right. But i didnt know how in the world i got the answer in the first place.

The question ask me to find the weighted average of average weight of bolling balls.

Weights(lb)
The classes are: 6-8, 10-12, 13-15, 16-17
And the sales percentages are: 15%, 39%, 27%, 19%

Now how do i calculate the weighted average of the bolling balls?

I used the medians of each class and multiply it by the percentages respectively. And i add and divided, and i got for my answer: 12.255 or 12.26 (lbs)

Now, here’s my other question, Why did i use the median of those 4 classes to find the weighted average?…

Somehow i couldnt find the reason why in my *textbook*…So please help me understand why…

Thank you!

I ordered a bok from half.com at the beginning of the semester. I ordered the student copy. I never used the book as my instructor used slides and PP. I then tried to sell the book and was told I have an instructors manual labeled “instructors Edition, not for resale. The ISBN is different from what I ordered and I believe the company “bait and switched” the sale. I contacted them and half.com and they said no refund could be made as the sale was more than 60 days ago. I just realized the error yesterday. Do I have legal remedies aside from the half.com return policy.
I honestly didn’t realize until yesterday. My instructor tests right off his slides and I haven’t had to. Either way your a dick and I could care less what you think, have fun trolling around.

The Statute of Frauds covers all the following except for contracts for the sale of….

a. a new college history textbook

b. land

c. a new car

d. the right to walk across your neighbor’s yard in order to get to the beach

The daily profit P(in thousands of dollars)from the sale of textbooks is a function of the number of x textbooks sold(in hundreds). The formula for the function is P= -3xsquared + 12x – 4.

What sales amount results in the maxium daily profit ? What is the maxium daily profit?

sales amount = _ textbooks

maxium daily profit=_dollars

I have a class in which I was given the 7th edition of the textbook. I have registered for the class and they are using the 8th edition of the same book. Brand new in the college bookstore is $150 with the study guide however it is an online class. Would you buy the 8th edition or just use the 7th? (Online sales are about the same as the bookstore)

Can someone explain this one to me? The government imposes an excise tax on the sales of all college textbooks. Before the tax was imposed, 1 million textbooks were sold every year at a price of $50. After the tax is imposed, 600,000 books are sold yearly; students pay $55 per book, $30 of which the publishers recieve. Explain: a.whether the incidence of the tax falls more heavily on comsumers or producers, b.why government revenue raised from the tax is not a good indicator of the true cost of the tax, and c.what missed opportunity,or inefficiency,arises. Thanks for any help!
