Applications

Essential for students calculating final grades from syllabus weights, investors tracking portfolio performance, and businesses determining the cost of inventory.

The Formula

A weighted average multiplies each value by its corresponding weight, sums those products together, and then divides by the total sum of all the weights.

Fun Fact: Weighted averages are used in creating major stock market indices, such as the S&P 500, where larger companies have a greater impact on the index's performance.
