In acoustics, the term "weighted mean" refers to an average that takes into account the relative importance of different values, often using a specific weighting factor. This is commonly applied in sound measurements, such as when calculating sound levels using weighting networks like A-weighting or C-weighting, which adjust the contribution of different frequencies to reflect human hearing sensitivity. By applying these weights, the resulting mean provides a more accurate representation of perceived loudness or sound impact in a given environment.
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.
In mathematical terms a weighted average is one which takes account of the popularity or frequency that particular numbers appear in the collection that is being averaged. It is considered to give a more realistic average.
There is. Arithmetic mean is simple average of numbers not weighted by anything. However in EV, the numbers are weighted by their probability
Whole number is a math term. Weighted average is another math term.
The weighted mean is calculated using the formula: [ \text{Weighted Mean} = \frac{\sum (w_i \cdot x_i)}{\sum w_i} ] where (x_i) represents the data points, (w_i) represents the weights assigned to each data point, and the summation is performed over all data points. This formula accounts for the relative importance of each value, giving more weight to higher significance values.
The arithmetic mean is a weighted mean where each observation is given the same weight.
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.
The weighted mean is simply the arithmetic mean; however, certain value that occur several times are taken into account. See an example http://financial-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/weighted+average
weighted mean is getting the weighted average of students. normally, it is always use in computing the general average of the students to determine the ranking of the whole class.

Geometric mean
The arithmetic mean and the weighted mean are used in different situations. The arithmetic mean is used in frequencies as a general average. The weighted mean is used when different factors contribute to some kind of total for example with weighted index numbers. It is not a matter of accuracy it involves using the right mean in the right situation. Almost always (if not always) a question will specify which mean to use.
Accoustics.
"Weighted mean" is the average calculated by taking into account not only the frequencies of the variables but also some other factors such as their variance.
