Weighted Average

/ˈweɪtɪd ˈævərɪdʒ/noun
ELI5 mode

A weighted average is a type of mean that assigns different levels of importance to each value in a dataset, multiplying them by specific weights before summing and dividing. This approach provides a more nuanced picture than a simple average by emphasizing certain data points, making it essential in real-world applications like grading systems or financial analysis where not all factors are equal.
