For your Kinesiology class, the instructor is using the following grading scheme:
Percentage of grade
Homework 25%
Midterm Exam 20%
Project 15%
Attendance 5%
Final Exam 35%
1.1. If there are 10 Homework assignments over the course of the semester, how much does each single Homework assignment contribute to your final grade?
1.2. If you raise your Midterm Exam grade by 8 points (out of 100), how much will that raise your final grade?
1.3. The instructor gives the class an extra credit assignment which will allow you to raise your Midterm grade by 8 points (out of 100) or raise your Final Exam grade by 10 points (out of 200). Which choice will improve your final grade the most?
10 a = 25%

20% * 8 points = 1.6 pts
.20 * 8 = 1.6
fianl exan extra credit 10 out of 200 is 5 out of 100 5 * .35 = 1.75 The extra points on final exam are worth more ...if you get them all!
