Describe your change:

This PR introduces the Weighted Average (Weighted Mean) algorithm to the maths directory. While the standard arithmetic mean is already present, a weighted average is essential for scenarios where certain data points contribute more significantly to the final outcome than others (e.g., grading systems, financial portfolio returns).

Robust error handling for empty lists, unequal lengths, and negative weights is included.
