Question

You need 76 people to process volume. You have 84 people rostered and an average of 82% attendance. Calculate VET round up.

A) 4
B) 6
C) 8
D) 10

Answer 1

The VET (Voluntary Extra Time) calculation is based on the rostered staff and average attendance rate. We calculate the expected attendees and subtract this from the required staff to find that 8 additional people are needed(option c).

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the additional number of people needed, referred to as VET (Voluntary Extra Time), we first need to determine how many people on average will actually attend, given an attendance rate of 82%. With 84 people rostered, the expected number of people attending would be 84 × 0.82, which equals to approximately 68.88. Since we cannot have a fraction of a person, we round it down to 68. Next, to find out how many additional people are needed to reach the required 76, we subtract the number of people we can expect to have (68) from the number we need (76), which gives us 76 - 68 = 8.Therefore, the correct answer is option c) 8.
