Question

If a work group consistently achieves 80 % of its quarterly goals and the work group generally has 25 objectives per quarter how many objectives can the work group be expected to achieve in any given quarter?

Answer 1

To determine the number of goals the group achieve in a given quarter (q), multiply the total goals they generally have (n) by their percent success (r)
                             q = n x r
Substituting the given,
                            q = (25 objectives) x 0.80 = 20
Thus, the group is expected to achieve 20 goals.
