Investopedia explains Weighted
Commonly used as a method to assign a value, based on proportion, to various securities within a given index. For example, the DJIA weighs each security based on the stock's price relative to the sum of all the stock prices. The Nasdaq on the other hand, is a market capitalization weighted index with each company weighting being proportionate to its market value.
