What is the formula for time-weighted average?
A time-weighted average is equal to the sum of the portion of each time period (as a decimal, such as 0.25 hour) multiplied by the levels of the substance or agent during the time period divided by the hours in the workday (usually 8 hours).
What is TWA time-weighted average?
"TWA is the employee's average airborne exposure in any 8-hour work shift of a 40-hour work week which shall not be exceeded." The 8-hour TWA PEL is the level of exposure established as the highest level of exposure an employee may be exposed to without incurring the risk of adverse health effects.
How do you calculate weighted mean?
The weighted mean is calculated by multiplying the weight with the quantitative outcome and adding all the products. If all the weights are equal, then the weighted mean and arithmetic mean will be the same.
