Use the numerical values assigned to grades to compute GPA. Round each GPA to the hundredths place. $$\begin{array}{llll}\mathrm{A}=4.0 & \mathrm{~B}+=3.5 & \mathrm{~B}=3.0 & \mathrm{C}+=2.5 \\ \mathrm{C}=2.0 & \mathrm{D}+=1.5 & \mathrm{D}=1.0 & \mathrm{~F}=0.0\end{array}$$ Compute the GPA for the following grades. Round to the nearest hundredth. $$\begin{array}{l|c|c}\hline & & \text { Number of } \\\text { Course } & \text { Grade } & \text { Credit-Hours } \\\text { General Psychology } & \text { B }+ & 3 \\\hline \text { Beginning Algebra } & \text { A } & 4 \\\hline \text { Student Success } & \text { A } & 1 \\\hline \text { Freshman English } & \text { B } & 3 \\\hline\end{array}$$

Key Concepts

Rounding

Rounding is the process of adjusting a numerical value to a desired level of precision. In many computations, including GPA calculation, rounding is applied to ensure that the final result is presented in a standardized format, such as to the nearest hundredth.

Numerical Conversion of Grades

This concept refers to the practice of assigning numerical values to letter grades. Each letter grade is associated with a specific numerical value, which allows for objective, numerical calculations like GPA rather than subjective letter-based assessments.

Weighted Average

The concept of a weighted average means that different items contribute differently to the final total, determined by their respective weights. In the context of GPA, courses with higher credit hours influence the GPA more strongly than courses with fewer credit hours.

Grade Point Average (GPA) Calculation

GPA calculation involves computing the mean of all the grade points earned in courses, weighted by the credit hours of each course. This provides a measure of academic performance that reflects not only the grades received but also the relative importance (credit hours) of each course.
