Returns the weighted average of two or more numbers.
|
||||
|
||||
- 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 weighted_average(nums, weights):
|
||||
return sum(x * y for x, y in zip(nums, weights)) / sum(weights)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```py
|
||||
weighted_average([1, 2, 3], [0.6, 0.2, 0.3]) # 1.72727
|
||||
```
