Analysis

Example Calculation

Survey Results Example

Scenario: Customer satisfaction across different store locations

Store A: 85% satisfaction (200 customers)

Store B: 78% satisfaction (150 customers)

Store C: 92% satisfaction (100 customers)

Weighted Average Calculation

Average = (85% × 200 + 78% × 150 + 92% × 100) / (200 + 150 + 100)

Average = (17,000 + 11,700 + 9,200) / 450

Average = 84.22%

Note: This gives more weight to stores with more customers

Formula Guide

Simple Average

Average = (P₁ + P₂ + ... + Pₙ) / n

Use when all percentages have equal importance

Weighted Average

Average = (P₁×w₁ + P₂×w₂ + ... + Pₙ×wₙ) / (w₁ + w₂ + ... + wₙ)

Use when percentages represent different sample sizes

When to Use Each Method

S

Simple Average

Equal importance for all percentages

Example: Test scores, ratings

W

Weighted Average

Different sample sizes or importance

Example: Survey results, sales data

Quick Tips

💡

Always consider the context of your percentages

📊

Use weighted average for different group sizes

🎯

Simple average treats all entries equally

⚖️

Larger samples get more weight in weighted average

Understanding Average Percentage

What is Average Percentage?

An average percentage is the mean value of multiple percentage values. The calculation method depends on whether the percentages represent equal or different sample sizes.

Simple vs. Weighted Average

  • Simple: All percentages have equal weight
  • Weighted: Percentages weighted by sample size
  • Context matters: Choose based on your data

Mathematical Formula

Simple Average Formula

Average = (P₁ + P₂ + P₃ + ... + Pₙ) / n

Where P₁, P₂, etc. are the individual percentages and n is the number of values.

Weighted Average Formula

Average = (P₁×w₁ + P₂×w₂ + ... + Pₙ×wₙ) / (w₁ + w₂ + ... + wₙ)

Where w₁, w₂, etc. are the weights (sample sizes) for each percentage.
