Question 634196: 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, 7 for record keeping, 7 for appearance, and 10 for bedside manner? (Round your answer to one decimal place.)
