Day 1: Standard Deviation Puzzles #2
Objective
In this challenge, we practice calculating standard deviation.
Task
The heights of a group of children are measured. The resulting data has a mean of meters, and a standard deviation of meters. One particular child is centimeters tall. Compute , the number of standard deviations away from the mean that the particular child is.
Enter the value of , correct to a scale of two decimal places.
Output Format
Your output must be a floating point/decimal number, correct to a scale of decimal places. You can submit solutions in either of the following ways:
Solve the problem manually and submit your result as Plain Text.
Submit an R or Python program, which uses the above parameters (hard-coded), and computes the answer.
Your answer format should resemble something like:
4.23
(This is NOT the answer, just a demonstration of the answering format.)
xxxxxxxxxx
int main() {
/* Enter your code here. Read input from STDIN. Print output to STDOUT */
return 0;
}
