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 2 for promptness, 4 for record keeping, 1 for appearance, and 3 for bedside manner with patients. What is the average rating for a nurse with ratings of 7 for promptness, 6 for record keeping, 5 for appearance, and 9 for bedside manner?
