Help needed... Scoring system

[Roshi84]

Hi everyone.. Apologies if this is not the correct place to post this question.

I am revamping a quality process and need to come up with a variable scoring system for a quality "quiz"

Each question has a different score and some of the questions might be not applicable.

Question 1 - 20%
Question 2 - 5%
Question 3 - 10%
Question 4 - 20%
Question 5 - 45%

The total maximum score would be 100%. But, for example, if the question 5 is not applicable for a specific person then the score would be 55%. How to adjust the scoring to not penalise this specific person of having a question that is not applicable to him/her.

If we use the rule of three we can adjust the score but we are still penalising the person as the max possible score is reduce and because each question has a different score..

Hope my explanation is clear.

Please helppp

This is very ill-defined problem. How many questions can somebody skip - yet get 100%? Can somebody skip all five questions?

In which class this assignment is being given to you?

This has been cracking my head. To be evaluated at least one of the question will be answered as Yes or No. If none of the questions are applicable to the person then the evaluation will be discarded by the system.

Calculate the maximum possible score with only the questions applicable for that specific person and divide the person's score by that. For example, suppose question 4 is not "applicable" but the person got 16% on the first question, 3% on the second, 8% on the third, and 40% on the fifth problem while not doing the fourth problem. Then that person got a total of 16+ 3+ 8+ 40= 67% out of a possible 20+ 5+ 10+ 45= 80% so this person's score is 67/80= 83.75%.

Thank you so much!!!!!!!

If someone gets 67 points out of 80 then they answered 67/80 correct. To convert this to a percentage you just multiply (67/80)*100%.

Did you really not see that?

At some point you learned how to convert a fraction to a percentage.
