What would be the general average of an examinee with the following ratings: Clinical Chemistry 83%, Clinical Microscopy 79%, Blood Bank/Serology 79%, Hematology 49%, Micro/Para 85%, Histopath/MTL 79%?

To find the general average of the examinee's ratings, you need to sum up all the percentages received in each subject and then divide this total by the number of subjects assessed.

The ratings provided are:

• Clinical Chemistry: 83%

• Clinical Microscopy: 79%

• Blood Bank/Serology: 79%

• Hematology: 49%

• Micro/Para: 85%

• Histopath/MTL: 79%

First, add these percentages together:

83 + 79 + 79 + 49 + 85 + 79 = 454%

Next, divide this total by the number of subjects, which in this case is 6:

454% ÷ 6 = 75.6667%

When this result is rounded to one decimal place, it approximates to 75.7%.

The closest value from the given options is 75%. The correct selection reflects the proper calculation and rounding process, leading to an understanding of how averages are computed in the context of exam scores. This calculation demonstrates the method for determining not just a simple average, but also the importance of precise calculation in arriving at the correct answer in a multiple-choice format, thus validating the selection.
