Ratings
How ratings are calculated?
- We calculate the average of all ratings of each institute. The result of calculating the average would be from 0.0 to 5.0.
- To get the percentage, we convert the result from 5 to 100 scale.
- The 5-star rating of each institute is shown after rounding the result of 5 scale.
Example:
6 people have rated an ESL center (Wall Street English Malaysia), the following are all those 6 people's ratings:
4, 3, 3, 4, 5, 5, 4, 4, 5, 4, 5, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 4, 4, 4, 4, 3, 3, 5, 5, 3, 3, 4, 3*
* note those ratings include all 6 rating questions (Programs, City ..)
Mathematically speaking, we calculate the average of all those ratings as follows:
1- We count the the ratings (Answer is 36)
2- We sum the ratings (Answer is 155)
3- The average would be: sum ÷ count
155 ÷ 36 = 4.3055555555556
Now we have the overall rating of (Wall Street English Malaysia) which is 4.30/5 and only 4 stars are shown. Then we get the percentage by this formula:
(4.3055555555556 / 5) × 100 = 86.1111111111
Finally, we round up to the second decimal place and the result is 86.11%.
Why are we show ratings based on Stars & Percentage at the same?
To show a quantifiable numerical value which can clearly distinguish between ESL centers.
