Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the percent above average, we need to calculate the difference between the average performance appraisal of new auditors and other auditors in the organization and then convert it into a percentage.

Difference = 4.4 - 4.0 = 0.4

Percent above average = (Difference / Average for other auditors) x 100 
= (0.4 / 4.0) x 100 
= 10

Therefore, the new recruits' performance is 10% above average, which corresponds to option B.
