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 2 for promptness, 4 for record keeping, 1 for appearance, and 3 for bedside manner with patients. What is the average rating for a nurse with ratings of 7 for promptness, 6 for record keeping, 4 for appearance, and 3 for bedside manner? (Enter your answer to one decimal place.)

Explanation / Answer

Average rating for the nurse = (score obtained/ maximumscore possible)x10

= [(2x7 + 4x6 + 1x4 + 3x3)/(2x10 + 4x10 + 1x10 + 3x10)]x10 = 5.1

Weighted average for the given score = 0.21x65 + 0.21x0.21x97 + 0.21x85 + 0.37x94 = 86.7
