It appears the last column of the output from the problem statement should be 3.5; 0.0; 2.0 instead of 3.5; 0.0; 3.0, but the first test suite does have it correct.

Ansgar Elles on 28 Mar 2020

yes true, thank you

Pooja Lalan on 30 Mar 2020

Thank you! Modified the problem statement.

Why doesn't it work?
function X = rescale_scores(X)
X = [X(1:end,1:end-1) (X(1:end,end).-60)./4]
end

东升李 on 23 Aug 2020

n = size(X,1);
for c = 1:n
X(c,end) = (X(c,end)-60)/10;
end

A little bit of math work will make your program much simpler. Grade 60-100 for GPA 0 - 4, this is a straight line! The equation for this straight line is GPA = 0.1*(grade-60). Don't forget to take care of negative GPAs.

Jesús Martínez Santana on 16 Feb 2021

X(:,end)=mean(rescale(X(:,end-1),-6,4,'InputMin',0,'InputMax',100),2);

Don't forget the negative numbers.
Score GPA
90 - 100 3 - 4
80 - 90 2 - 3
70 - 80 1 - 2
60 - 70 0 - 1
50 - 60 -1 - 0
40 - 50 -2 - -1
30 - 40 -3 - -2
20 - 30 -4 - -3
10 - 20 -5 - -4
0 - 10 -6 - -5

I am getting confused. IIs there a capital and small "x" in use. Getting errors.

Eureka on 9 Jun 2021

Below 60 GPA=0, so why there could be any negative value?

Please, what is wrong with the following answer
X = (X-60)/10;
thank u

SOUMYADEEP SENGUPTA on 25 Apr 2020

This would operate on the entire matrix X. However we want the GPA to appear only in the last column of X. So try by declaring another variable which would calculate the GPA and then replace the last column of X with this column vector.

Kanchan Gorde on 9 May 2020

We have to modify only last column of matrix X not an entire matrix so find GPA for that column only.
