Answer 1

Given:

Rating for campus placements = 9 out of 10

Rating for teaching = 8 out of 10

Weightage for placements = 55%

Weightage for teaching = 45%

Concept:

Weighted average rating = (Rating for placements × Weightage for placements) + (Rating for teaching × Weightage for teaching)

Solution:

⇒ Weighted average rating = (9 × 0.55) + (8 × 0.45) = 4.95 + 3.6 = 8.55 out of 10

Hence, the final rating of the college out of 10 is 8.55.
