[OT] Weighted distribution of Numbers

[Dar Scott Consulting]

Just to clarify... Is this right?

The max of the raw numbers maps to 100.
The min of the raw numbers maps to 0. (Or is it 0 maps to 0?)
The middle number maps to something like 70. (Or is it half of the max maps to 70?)
The mapping is smooth.

Where 70 might be something else.
