Test Your Knowledge
If a transit system receives 300 positive feedback responses out of 500 total responses, what is the satisfaction score?
Using the formula: Satisfaction Score = (Positive Feedback ÷ Total Feedback) × 100
Satisfaction Score = (300 ÷ 500) × 100 = 60%
This question tests understanding of the basic satisfaction score formula. Remember to divide positive by total, then multiply by 100.
System A has 400 positive out of 500 total feedback. System B has 800 positive out of 1000 total feedback. Which system has a higher satisfaction score?
System A: (400 ÷ 500) × 100 = 80%
System B: (800 ÷ 1000) × 100 = 80%
Both systems have the same satisfaction score of 80%
This demonstrates that satisfaction score is a percentage metric independent of absolute feedback volume.
If a system has 450 total feedback and 360 positive feedback, how many negative feedback responses were there?
Negative Feedback = Total Feedback - Positive Feedback
Negative Feedback = 450 - 360 = 90 responses
This question reinforces the relationship between positive, negative, and total feedback counts.
True or False: A satisfaction score of 75% is considered excellent in public transport industry standards.
True. Scores above 70% are generally considered excellent in the public transport industry.
This provides context for interpreting satisfaction scores against industry benchmarks.
A transit authority aims for an 85% satisfaction score and currently receives 500 total feedback responses. How many positive responses are needed to achieve this goal?
Using the formula: Positive = (Satisfaction Score × Total) ÷ 100
Positive = (85 × 500) ÷ 100 = 425 responses
This question applies the formula in reverse to set targets for satisfaction goals.
