comment ab= out these calculations:

In addition to the “raw percentages” this re= port includes an “average” response for each question in orde= r to assist us with absorbing a large amount of quantitative data. However, the “average” includes only those responders who answered “1-5”. It’s also important to look a= t what percentage of responders checked “No Opinion” or simply skipped= the question.
