Question

I have to do a project in art that's 100 points but I have an A in th class. I don't want to do the project because I have 2 other projects that's due the same day as the art project

Answer 1

I do know that it takes 3 100's to bring one 0 to a "C".  Knowing that, I would not advise getting any zeroes.

 

The information that I would need to know to correctly answer your question is:  How many assignments have you already had to get your "A".

 

For instance if you had:

 

3 assignments of 100 each ...

 

3 x 100 = 300

300 / 3 = 100%

 

But now with one 0:

 

Those same 3 assignments of 100 each AND that one 0 ...

 

3 x 100 = 300

300 / 4 = 75%

which is a drop of 25 points for one zero.

 

Now, if you had 10 assignments of 100 each ...

 

10 x 100 = 1,000

1,000 / 10 = 100%

 

But those same 10 assignments of 100 each AND that one 0 ...

 

10 x 100 = 1,000

1,000 / 11 = 90.9 or 91%

which is a drop of 9 points for one zero.

 

Taking one zero is a gamble based on if you have many assignments (low risk) or a few assignment (high risk) of altering your final average for a class.

 

Hope this was helpful! 

 

 

Answer 2

How much is the project worth? [I had this problem when I was in college. No judgement here!]

 

I see that you said 100 points. How does that compare to the other tests/assignments in your class?
