Finding averages for responses answered

1 New Member
Hello,
Would any of you happen to know the code for finding the average of responses to a survey? For example, there are 6 questions. Normally, I'd sum the 6 scores and divide it by 6. However, some respondents may only answer 5 questions. In that case, I'd take the sum of 5 and divide it by 5. My problem is that the DatStat program I'm using only allows for one calculation. So, I'm guessing there's an 'if' statement needed somewhere in my coding. Could you please advise?


Thank-you,

Hey All-- I'm rusty on my JavaScript but I'm pulling it back out to do a PHP/MySQL database application. I'm doing all the validation in PHP, but I'm using JavaScript to show/hide questions which depend on the responses to other questions, e.g. "If you answered yes to the previous question, then what time of day will you need your service activated?" One aspect of this is needing to be able to decide which radio button in certain...

I have a database that stores data collected from a variety of instruments (pressure, temperature, flow rate, etc.) everytime there is a 1% change in the value. The Project Manager wants to be able to take the data and generate a report that shows a series of timed averages across a larger time span. For example, over an eight hour time range, he wants the instrument averages in five minute blocks. 00:00:01 - 00:05:00 Press1avg01 |...

Hi, still very new to programming but am a little stumped by how to do this idea i have. I need to make a moving average which takes every nth value in a data series to build a running total which can then be divided by the length of the moving average.

I'm looking to manipulate/check the state of various checkboxes and radios in a form. Because I don't want to access all of the checkboxes in the form, only a specific section, I am trying to narrow down the list of elements to check. I thought I could place those elements within a named DIV or a table, and then reference that DIV or table by its ID. But it's not working. Say for instance I wanted Javascript to issue an alert (just...
