Formulas Used in Group Study Efficiency Calculator

The calculator uses the following formulas to assess group study efficiency:

Study Efficiency:

\\[ E_s = \min\left(100 \cdot \frac{T \cdot E_m}{G \cdot D \cdot E_{\text{max}}}, 100\right) \\]

Knowledge Retention:

\\[ K_r = \min\left(100 \cdot \frac{T \cdot E_m}{D \cdot T_{\text{max}}}, 100\right) \\]

Group Synergy:

\\[ S_g = \min\left(100 \cdot \frac{E_m}{G \cdot G_{\text{max}}}, 100\right) \\]

Where:

\\( E_s \\): Study efficiency (%)
\\( T \\): Session duration (hours)
\\( E_m \\): Environment multiplier (Quiet: 1.2, Moderate: 1.0, Distracting: 0.7)
\\( G \\): Group size (people)
\\( D \\): Subject difficulty (1–10)
\\( E_{\text{max}} \\): Maximum reference efficiency factor (20)
\\( K_r \\): Knowledge retention (%)
\\( T_{\text{max}} \\): Maximum reference duration (4 hours)
\\( S_g \\): Group synergy (%)
\\( G_{\text{max}} \\): Maximum reference group size (10)

Example Calculations

Example 1: Small Group, Short Session, Easy Subject, Quiet Environment

Input: Group Size = 2, Session Duration = 1 hr, Subject Difficulty = 3, Study Environment = Quiet

\\[ E_s = \min\left(100 \cdot \frac{T \cdot E_m}{G \cdot D \cdot E_{\text{max}}}, 100\right) = \min\left(100 \cdot \frac{1 \cdot 1.2}{2 \cdot 3 \cdot 20}, 100\right) = 1 \ \% \\] \\[ K_r = \min\left(100 \cdot \frac{T \cdot E_m}{D \cdot T_{\text{max}}}, 100\right) = \min\left(100 \cdot \frac{1 \cdot 1.2}{3 \cdot 4}, 100\right) = 10 \ \% \\] \\[ S_g = \min\left(100 \cdot \frac{E_m}{G \cdot G_{\text{max}}}, 100\right) = \min\left(100 \cdot \frac{1.2}{2 \cdot 10}, 100\right) = 6 \ \% \\]

Result: Study Efficiency: 1%, Knowledge Retention: 10%, Group Synergy: 6%

Example 2: Medium Group, Average Session, Moderate Subject, Moderate Environment

Input: Group Size = 4, Session Duration = 2 hrs, Subject Difficulty = 5, Study Environment = Moderate

\\[ E_s = \min\left(100 \cdot \frac{T \cdot E_m}{G \cdot D \cdot E_{\text{max}}}, 100\right) = \min\left(100 \cdot \frac{2 \cdot 1.0}{4 \cdot 5 \cdot 20}, 100\right) = 0.5 \ \% \\] \\[ K_r = \min\left(100 \cdot \frac{T \cdot E_m}{D \cdot T_{\text{max}}}, 100\right) = \min\left(100 \cdot \frac{2 \cdot 1.0}{5 \cdot 4}, 100\right) = 10 \ \% \\] \\[ S_g = \min\left(100 \cdot \frac{E_m}{G \cdot G_{\text{max}}}, 100\right) = \min\left(100 \cdot \frac{1.0}{4 \cdot 10}, 100\right) = 2.5 \ \% \\]

Result: Study Efficiency: 0.5%, Knowledge Retention: 10%, Group Synergy: 2.5%

Example 3: Large Group, Long Session, Hard Subject, Distracting Environment

Input: Group Size = 8, Session Duration = 3 hrs, Subject Difficulty = 8, Study Environment = Distracting

\\[ E_s = \min\left(100 \cdot \frac{T \cdot E_m}{G \cdot D \cdot E_{\text{max}}}, 100\right) = \min\left(100 \cdot \frac{3 \cdot 0.7}{8 \cdot 8 \cdot 20}, 100\right) = 0.16 \ \% \\] \\[ K_r = \min\left(100 \cdot \frac{T \cdot E_m}{D \cdot T_{\text{max}}}, 100\right) = \min\left(100 \cdot \frac{3 \cdot 0.7}{8 \cdot 4}, 100\right) = 6.56 \ \% \\] \\[ S_g = \min\left(100 \cdot \frac{E_m}{G \cdot G_{\text{max}}}, 100\right) = \min\left(100 \cdot \frac{0.7}{8 \cdot 10}, 100\right) = 0.88 \ \% \\]

Result: Study Efficiency: 0.16%, Knowledge Retention: 6.56%, Group Synergy: 0.88%
