Problem 106. Weighted average

weighted mean should really be sum(x.*w)/sum(w), and not as defined in the problem.

I agree with the definition above. You need to define the sum of all the weights and not the number of weights.

As the others have said, the problem title is flat out wrong. What is required is simply not a weighted average in any standard form.

Come on Mathworks, delete this problem!

The test suits for this problem should have tests with different vector length.

There are "solutions" that just divide by 3.

I think the program title is wrong as in weighted average the denominator should contain sum of all weights

Hahaha, who wrote this problem? This is not a weighted average! Just look at the example provided: the weighted average of 1, 2 and 3 is 33.3333, hahahahaha!

this is not really the weighted average, because of 10 15 and 20 the average can't never be 33.333 here is a bug

Yes. The description is completely wrong. To start with, a weighted average should have the property that

weighted_average(x,w) == weighted_average(x,k*w)

So a simple re-scaling of the weights should not impact the result.

Good problem

kinda misleading, but i get the gist of it

good question

yay

tricky

easy

Is it possible to remove this problem or at least change the problem name so it does not say "weighted average". As others have pointed out, the definition, via example, is inaccurate.
An average, weighted or otherwise, will not be greater than the largest number in the set (which is the case here).

very good

nice

why leading size is always 7? and how :(
