Returns the weighted average of two or more noumbers.
- Use `sum` to sum the products of the numbers by it's weight and to sum the weights.
- Use `for i in range(len(nums))` to move over every number in the two lists.
- Use `sum()` to sum the products of the numbers by their weight and to sum the weights.
- Use `zip()` and a list comprehension to iterate over the pairs of values and weights.
```py
def weightedAverage(nums,weights):
return sum(nums[i] * weights[i] for i in range(len(nums))) / sum(weights)
def weighted_average(nums, weights):
return sum(x * y for x, y in zip(nums, weights)) / sum(weights)
```
```py
weightedAverage([1, 2, 3], [0.6,0.2,0.3]) # 1.727272727272727
weighted_average([1, 2, 3], [0.6,0.2,0.3]) # 1.72727
```
