ie, if you have worked out the mean averages of something, and you now need to work out percentages of the averages
eg
the averages i have are:
7
7.6
11
1.5
7.6
11
7.6
9
9
So how would i get percentages of them????
And that probably makes no sense what so ever!

If I had 2 ducks, 3 chickens and 5 geese and I wanted to work out what percentage of the animals were chickens I would add together how many animals I have total 2+3+5 = 10 then to get the % of chickens you do 3/10 x 100 = 30%
It is the number of chickens / total number of animals x100
hope this makes sense

It is impossible to decipher percentages from an average. An average could be based on any number of percentages. Given the average of 72% how is one to know how many percentages were used to get the result?

Percentage in Average!
That is non sense because average and Percentage are both final products already

Percentages would have to be divided by a sum total.
What is the sum total? are you adding all the numbers together first and coming up with a total? 7.6+7+6+6.4...
If I am understanding this right- you then find divide each number by the sum total.
Then the fractions that you have - you can convert to 100s and then you will have your percentages.
Is that what you were looking for? Or is it more involved?

Is this really a question on "standard deviation". If so then your best bet is to look up "standard deviation" in your maths textbook or type "standard deviation" into Google and learn about that way.
