A student earned grades of B, B, A, C, and D. Those courses had these corresponding numbers of credit hours: 4, 5, 1, 5, 4. The grading system assigns quality points to letter grades as follows: A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, and F=0. Compute the grade point average (GPA) and round the result to two decimal places.

Computation of Grade Point Average (GPA):

GPA = Total Weighted Points divided by total credit hours

= 45/19

= 2.37 on 4.00 Grade Average

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Computations:

Courses  Grade Letters  Credit Hours  Quality Points  Weighted Points

1                        B                     4                        3                      12

2                       B                     5                        3                      15

3                       A                     1                         4                       4

4                       C                     5                        2                     10

5                       D                     4                        1                       4

Total                                       19 credit hours                         45 Points

b) GPA = Total Weighted Points divided by total credit hours

= 45/19

= 2.37

c) The GPA for this student is the total weighted points (which is a product of the credit hours (loads) and the quality point) expressed as a ratio of the total credit hours for the courses she took.  The grade point average ensures that the each point used in calculating the GPA is weighed by the credit hours allocated to the course.  The resultant figure of 2.37 implies that out of 4.00 grade points, the student scored 2.37, translating to about 59%.

the population of other specie of birds will decline or other specie of birds will find some alternate source of food to survive.

explanation:

according to the competitive exclusion principle, which is also known as gause's law, two specie living in the same niche and feeding on the same resource cannot co-exist stably.

as we have well studied the theory of natural selection which states that only those organisms survive which have better tendency to compete for food and adapt to the environmental conditions.

coming towards the question, what wi ll happen when one species outcompetes the other for the small fish , the other specie will not get enough food and will start to die or decline in population. eventually either other specie needs to find another alternative food source for itself or migrate at some other location where there is less competition otherwise it will just not exist anymore at that niche.

hope it !
