	John Halleck's Weighted Averages
		In that case, the weighted average of one value is (W1M1) divided by the sum of the weights*.
		If someone were to weight the shot by shot length the weighted average would have been: (10.310.3 + 10.810.8 + 10.510.5)/(10.3+10.8+10.5) or about 10.54 While shot length may, in some cases, be a good estimate of the correct weights, one can see here that it is not the same as using the correct weights*.
		Weight matrices on physical grounds have to be symmetric, so the weight has to have N columns and N rows.

	Isotopes and weighted average
		The result is that the "average" mass for the atoms of an element is dictated by the most abundant or common isotope.
		The atomic weights in the periodic table are weighted averages.

	Weighted mean - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		While weighted means generally behave in a similar fashion to arithmetic means, they do have a few counter-intuitive properties, as captured for instance in Simpson's paradox.
		The straight average for the morning class is 80% and the straight average of the afternoon class is 90%.
		The significance of this choice is that this weighted mean is the maximum likelihood estimator of the mean of the probability distributions under the assumption that they are independent and normally distributed with the same mean.

	Weighted Average Credit Rating
		The weighted average of all the bond credit ratings in a bond fund.

	Definitions
		An interpolation method where the interpolated values are weighted averages, with the weights being determined in inverse proportion to the distances that the known data are from an interpolation point.
		An interpolation method that uses a weighted average of function values at the natural neighbors of an arbitrary point to determine an interpolated value at that point.
		Given a sequence of function values and a matching sequence of real numbers, called weights, such that the sum of all of the weights is unity, then the sum of all of the products of the weights times the function values is called a weighted average of the function values.

	The English Section Weighted Average Requirement
		The English Section 'Weighted Average Requirement' was modified in August 2005 to reflect the different requirements for students who are continuing with the 'old' curriculum and students who began in September 2005 with the new curriculum.
		The 'weighting' procedure multiplies the numerical grade for each course by the number of study weeks awarded for the course; the resulting points from each course are then added, providing a sum which is divided by 8 (the total number of study weeks for all five courses).
		Calculation of the weighted average (and consideration of other factors affecting student eligibility) will be done by the English Section Assistant in consultation with the section teaching staff.

	Moving Average (Weighted)
		The weighted moving average is calculated by averaging together the previous values over the given period, including the current value.
		These values are weighted linearly, with the oldest value receiving a weight of 1, the next value receiving a weight of 2, and so on up to the current value, which receives a weight equal to the period.
		The moving average at the beginning of a data series is not defined until there are enough values to fill the given period.

		A weighted average differs from an average in that a weighted average returns a number that depends on the variables of both value and weight.
		The average cost of the cases in each shipment -- determined by the formula ($0.20+$0.30)/2 = $0.25 -- is not an accurate measure of the average cost of the cases because it does not take into account that there are 30 more cases being purchased at $0.30 than at $0.20.
		The weighted average would return $0.28, a more accurate representation of the average cost of a case of widgets in these two shipments.

	Moving average (technical analysis) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A moving average, in finance and especially in technical analysis, is one of a family of similar statistical techniques used to analyze time series data.
		A moving average series can be calculated for any time series, but is most often applied to stock prices, returns or trading volumes.
		In any case moving average levels are interpreted as support in a rising market, or resistance in a falling market.

	The Weighted Average Cost of Capital
		The weighted cost of capital (WACC) and the return on invested capital (ROIC) are the most important elements in company valuation and the basis for most strategy and performance evaluation methods.
		Usually it is calculated assuming both a constant cost of capital and a fixed set of target market value weights (Copeland et al) throughout the time frame of the analysis.
		The weights used in the calculation are the ratio between the market value of each type of debt and equity in the capital structure, and the

	the mass spectra of elements
		The relative atomic mass of an element is the weighted average of the masses of the isotopes relative to 1/12 of the mass of a carbon-12 atom.
		A "weighted average" allows for the fact that there won't be equal amounts of the various isotopes.
		The average mass of these 123 atoms would be 1330 / 123 = 10.8 (to 3 significant figures).

	Constructing Uniformly Weighted Moving Average Charts
		When the subgroup sample sizes are constant, the width of the control limits for the first w moving averages decreases monotonically because each of the first w moving averages includes one more term than the preceding moving average.
		A more systematic approach is to choose w by considering its effect on the average run length (the expected number of points plotted before a shift is detected).
		The following SAS program computes the average run length for a two-sided moving average chart for various shifts in the mean.

	Weighted Average Cost of Capital - debt component
		The Weighted Average Cost of Capital is your market based cost of debt and cost of equity weighted by the porportion of your debt to equity.
