New submission from Raymond Hettinger <raymond.hettin...@gmail.com>:
Weighted averages are another basic that we should support. A professor assigns a grade for a course by weighting quizzes at 20%, homework at 20%, a midterm exam at 30%, and a final exam at 30%: >>> grades = [85, 92, 83, 91] >>> weights = [0.20, 0.20, 0.30, 0.30] >>> fmean(grades, weights) 87.6 The API here matches that for harmonic_mean() and random.choices(), the other places where we support optional weights. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 393751 nosy: rhettinger, steven.daprano priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Add optional weights parameter to statistics.fmean() type: enhancement versions: Python 3.11 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue44150> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
