Slide Application: Estimating Tuition and Fees In 1998, average tuition and fees at public universities and colleges were $3293, whereas they were $5132 in Use the midpoint formula to estimate tuition and fees in Compare it to the actual value of $4221. Notice that 2001 lies midway between 1998 and Therefore we can use the midpoint formula. The midpoint formula estimates tuition and fees at public colleges and universities to be $ in This is within $10 of the actual value.
