Compare What-If Analysis using Trial and Error and Goal Seek to the given scenario:
Let’s say a student is enrolled in an online class at a learning institution for a semester. His overall average grade stands at 43% in the course (Term Grade is 45%, Midtermm Grade is 65%, Class Participation is 62% and Final Examm is 0%). Unfortunately, he missed his Final Examm and was given 0%. However, he has the opportunity to redo his Final Examm and needs at least an overall average of 60% to pass the course. How can you use Trial and Error and Goal Seek to find out what is the lowest grade he needs on the Final Examm to pass the class? Which method worked best for you and why?
