In addition to the observed values, a weighted average needs weights. No weights are given.
The weighted arithmetic mean is used, if one wants to combine average values from samples of the same population with different sample sizes: : The weights wi represent the bounds of the partial sample. In other applications they represent a measure for the reliability of the influence upon the mean by respective values. rhinostar
A weighted mean is when some values contribute more than others. In order to calculate weighted mean multiply each weight by its value, add those and then divide by the sum of the weights.
They are the same thing. They give you an accurate representation of all the values in a data set
The average of a set of values is the sum of the values divided by the number of values.

No. Weighting is used to assign different importance to different values.

The assumptions for using a weighted average include: 1) the weights assigned to each value are accurate and meaningful, 2) all values being averaged are measured on the same scale, 3) the weights represent the relative importance of each value, and 4) the values being averaged are relevant to the calculation being performed.
The average atomic mass of an element is the weighted average of the masses of its isotopes, based on their abundance in nature. It is calculated by multiplying the mass of each isotope by its relative abundance, then summing these values together. This average mass is given on the periodic table.
The weighted average mass of a mixture of isotopes is calculated by multiplying the mass of each isotope by its natural abundance, and then summing these values together. This gives a more accurate representation of the overall mass of the isotopes in the mixture, taking into account their relative abundances.

HIII. I am taking accounting and in my opinion market values of debt is way better to calculate a firms weight average cost of capital... hope i helped even just a little
To use the weighted average method, you first assign weights to the values you are averaging based on their relative importance. Then, you multiply each value by its corresponding weight, sum the results, and divide by the total weight. This method is useful when some values are more significant than others in the calculation of the average.
The easiest way is to use sumproduct in Excel. Sumproduct takes two (or more) lists of the same size and multiplies the corresponding values in each list; then adds the product. See related links for an easy to read tutorial on how to calculate weighted averages in Excel.
