• How do you think calculating a “weighted average” differs from calculating just a regular average (mean)?
• When do you think you would find a weighted average instead of a regular average?
• If you have 4 test scores and one of them counts double, how would you find the average of the scores? Is this a weighted average or a regular average? Justify your answer.
