AI Thread Summary
The final grade calculation discussed involves a course where the final exam accounts for 20% of the overall grade. The student had a 92% average before the final, which contributed 80% to the overall grade. After scoring 88% on the final, the calculations were performed as follows: 0.8 times 92 equals 73.6, and 0.2 times 88 equals 17.6, leading to a total of 91.2. Multiple participants confirmed that the calculation was correct. The final grade is indeed 91.2.

my instructor has everything in percentages not points. the final was 20% of the overall grade. up until the final (80% of the course) i had a 92%. and i received an 88% on the final exam. so what i did was 0.8*92=73.6 and then i did 0.2*88=17.6. i then added the two and i got 91.something. did i calculate my final grade right?

I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
