1. ## Numbers

Hi guys,

I have the following 10 numbers:

6.3822e-006
2.511e-005
2.5467e-005
2.8725e-005
0.00016884
0.0028119
0.00020491
2.8006e-005
2.796e-005
0.00030903

I would like to map these numbers to the range between 0 and 1 such that when we add them the result is 1.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Alex

Add them all up to get a total t. Now devide all the numbers by t.

Code:
>n=[6.3822e-006;2.511e-005;2.5467e-005;2.8725e-005;0.00016884;..
>   0.0028119;0.00020491;2.8006e-005;2.796e-005;0.00030903]
6.3822e-006
2.511e-005
2.5467e-005
