The formula to calculate the Grade Average is:
\[ \text{Average Grade} = \frac{\sum \text{Grades}}{\text{Number of Grades}} \]
Where:
Grade average is calculated by summing all the grades and then dividing by the number of grades. It is a measure of the overall performance of a student across multiple subjects or assessments.
Consider an example where the grades are:
Using the formula to calculate the Grade Average:
\[ \text{Average Grade} = \frac{85 + 90 + 78 + 92 + 88}{5} = 86.6 \]
This means that the average grade for this example is 86.6.
