Section 2.2 Weighted Averages Objective 1 – Compute Weighted Averages Key Terms Weighted average Summary The 2015-16 tuition, fees, room and board in the table below are said to be “enrollment weighted” as indicated by the note from the National Center of Education Statistics: Private Four-Year Public Four-Year Public Two-Year $39,529 $19,189 $9,939 NOTE: Data are for the entire academic year and are average charges for full-time students.
