RE: [Dev-C++] Urgent help needed!

Take the arbitrary (non median) dot product of the weights and the scores.
Of course, you've defined both "weights" and an "average": this isn't really
kosher statistically unless you're assuming the weights represent some sort
of oddball fully non-parametric method. I'd suggest Kernighan & Ritchie for
C, Stroustrup 2nd Ed. for C++, and Rosenblatt et. al. for an excellent
treatment of fully and partially non-parametric and "normal" [that's a math
joke] numerical statistics and partial differential equations.

Subject: [Dev-C++] Urgent help needed!


Hi there, can anyone help with this question?
 
Write a program that computes final averages for a set of grades. The
program reads the grades from a file called Scores.dat. The file scores.dat
begins with a header line followed by a set of scores for each student. The
format of the header line is 
n    weight1   weight2  ...     weightn
where n is the number of scores for each student and weight is  the weight
of the score. The header line is followed by grades for each student. The
format of a grade line is
name     score1   score2....              scoren
where name is the last name of the student and score is the score.
Allscores must be between 0 and 100. The program reads the file score.dat
and writes a file called average.dat that has the average computed in it.
