AI Thread Summary
A scoring algorithm for a quiz is being developed, which can yield up to 10 different results based on a maximum of 50 questions. Each question features up to 10 multiple-choice answers, each assigned a weighted value ranging from -6 to +6. The algorithm also incorporates demographic factors, such as gender and age groups, applying the same weighted value range for each quiz result. The discussion seeks collaborative input to navigate the complexities of these variables without providing direct solutions. The goal is to refine the scoring system effectively.

hello all. I am trying to figure out a scoring algorithm for a quiz. really i totally lost with so many variables. I will post the main points of it. thanks for all the help i advance.

- Up to 10 different final *Quiz Results* can be given. (see p10 of pdf for results in action)
- Quiz can have up to 50 *Questions*.
- Each *Question* has up to 10 possible multiple choice *Answers*.
- Each *Answer* is assigned a *Weighted Value* for each *Quiz Result*.
- *Weighted Values* are in the range of -6 to zero to +6. (Possible 13 point spread)
- Each Quiz will also apply the same *Weight Value* range for if a M/F is taking the quiz and what of 6 age groups the taker is in... for each type of Quiz Result.

You can see a visual of what i trying to achieve below.

Made any headway into the problem? We can't give solutions, we CAN help. Give us something to help with.
 
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...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
Thread 'Imaginary Pythagorus'
I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
