Question

At General Hospital, nurses are given performance evaluations to determine eligibility for merit pay raises. The supervisor rates the nurses on a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being the highest rating) for several activities: promptness, record keeping, appearance, and bedside manner with patients. Then an average is determined by giving a weight of 3 for promptness, 1 for record keeping, 2 for appearance, and 4 for bedside manner with patients. What is the average rating for a nurse with ratings of 8 for promptness, 5 for record keeping, 5 for appearance, and 8 for bedside manner?

Explanation / Answer

(2*3 + 1*9 + 2*1 + 4*1 )/(3*10 + 1* 10 + 2*10 + 4*10) = (21)/(100) = 0.21 = 0.2
