Step-by-step solution

The problem asks us to find two values: the weighted arithmetic mean (referred to as "the grade" in the question) and the simple arithmetic mean.

Here are the given scores and their corresponding weights:

  • English: Score = 50, Weight = 4
  • Biology: Score = 65, Weight = 2
  • Mathematics: Score = 75, Weight = 1
  • Physics: Score = 53, Weight = 3
  • Chemistry: Score = 58, Weight = 3
  1. Calculate the sum of (score ×\times weight) for the weighted arithmetic mean.

    ∑(xi⋅wi)=(50×4)+(65×2)+(75×1)+(53×3)+(58×3)\sum (x_i \cdot w_i) = (50 \times 4) + (65 \times 2) + (75 \times 1) + (53 \times 3) + (58 \times 3) ∑(xi⋅wi)=200+130+75+159+174\sum (x_i \cdot w_i) = 200 + 130 + 75 + 159 + 174 ∑(xi⋅wi)=738\sum (x_i \cdot w_i) = 738
  2. Calculate the sum of the weights.

    ∑wi=4+2+1+3+3\sum w_i = 4 + 2 + 1 + 3 + 3 ∑wi=13\sum w_i = 13
  3. Calculate the weighted arithmetic mean (the grade).

    The formula for the weighted arithmetic mean is xˉw=∑(xi⋅wi)∑wi\bar{x}_w = \frac{\sum (x_i \cdot w_i)}{\sum w_i}.

    xˉw=73813\bar{x}_w = \frac{738}{13} xˉw≈56.77\bar{x}_w \approx 56.77
  4. Calculate the sum of the scores for the simple arithmetic mean.

    ∑xi=50+65+75+53+58\sum x_i = 50 + 65 + 75 + 53 + 58 ∑xi=301\sum x_i = 301
  5. Calculate the simple arithmetic mean.

    The number of subjects (nn) is 5. The formula for the simple arithmetic mean is xˉ=∑xin\bar{x} = \frac{\sum x_i}{n}.

    xˉ=3015\bar{x} = \frac{301}{5} xˉ=60.2\bar{x} = 60.2

    The weighted arithmetic mean (the grade) is approximately 56.77, and the simple arithmetic mean is 60.2.

    The grade (weighted arithmetic mean) is: 56.77\boxed{\text{56.77}}
    The arithmetic mean is: 60.2\boxed{\text{60.2}}
