Formula for "Survey Average Score"
The "Survey Average Score" represents average score of all respondents for a single feature from the Vision Survey
- Very Important = 10 points
- Moderately important = 5 points
- Not important = 0 points
So, for example, "Community and Collection Hierarchy" had 50 respondents rank it "Very important" (10 points each), 37 rank it "Moderately important" (5 points each), and 6 rank it "Not important" (0 points).
This is an average score of ((10 x 50) + (5 x 37)) / (50 + 37 + 6) = 7.36 average
