How do I replace the deprecated "Attribute Mix" node from 2.93 in blender 3.3

Question

How do I replace the deprecated Attribute Mix node from 2.93 in blender 3.3 using a vertex group as a kind of falloff for the scale of distributed instances on points.

I am trying to follow/replicate Jayanam's 2021 tutorial https://youtu.be/yl2dtMbI--k?t=475 I almost finished it, except the 2 min. part.

The first screenshot below came from the original scene in v.2.93 and the second is where I am stuck in 3.3. Since there is no Attribute Mix node anymore I couldn't figure that out despite many tries... Any help or direction appreciated.

OK, I have now rebuilt this for you in version 3.3, and the solution should look like this:

Here I use instead of the node Attribute Mix the node Mix.

By the way, in Blender 3.2 and 3.3 this node is called MixRGB and is located in the Color category. In Blender 3.4 there is an additional new node that explicitly mixes values. This is called Mix and is located in the category Utilities.

Alternatively, as already mentioned in the comments, you can directly multiply the value of the vertex group with the randomly generated value of Random Value:
