Q: A student in PHY 2220 is calculating their final grade. If they scored 85% on each of the three partial exams, 90% on the final exam, 80% on homework, 95% on class participation, and 100% on the special project, what is their final grade using the formula provided in the syllabus? Use the formula: $$\text{Final Grade} = (E1 + E2 + E3 + FE) * 0.10 + GPT * 0.10 + H * 0.05 + CP * 0.25 + SP * 0.20 ($$Assume GPT = 0 for this calculation).

$$\text{Final Grade} = (85 + 85 + 85 + 90) * 0.10 + 0 * 0.10 + 80 * 0.05 + 95 * 0.25 + 100 * 0.20 = 34 + 0 + 4 + 23.75 + 20 = 81.75$$

Q: A student in PHY 2220 wants to calculate their grade if they have the following scores: Exam 1: 80%, Exam 2: 75%, Exam 3: 90%, Final Exam: 85%, Homework: 70%, Class Participation: 80%, Special Project: 90%, GPT: 0%. What is their final grade? Use the formula: $$\text{Final Grade} = (E1 + E2 + E3 + FE) * 0.10 + GPT * 0.10 + H * 0.05 + CP * 0.25 + SP * 0.20$$

$$\text{Final Grade} = (80 + 75 + 90 + 85) * 0.10 + 0 * 0.10 + 70 * 0.05 + 80 * 0.25 + 90 * 0.20 = 33 + 0 + 3.5 + 20 + 18 = 74.5$$
