Hi,I have a simple scaling question. A client wants to measure consumers' rating of how important are certain attributes of a product. The scale he wants to show the consumers is 1 - 9, but then he wants to convert this to a +/-100 scale. Converting to a 0 - 1 scale is no problem: take each consumer's rating of an attribute, subtract the mean for that attribute, and divide by the range. But how can I do this to get +/-100? Any ideas? Thanks for the help, Walt Paczkowski |
