Hey there :)

Now lets name each house

    A             B              C              D             E                  F
500ft <-> 500ft <-> 500ft <-> 500ft <-> 500ft   <->   2000ft

Let's say the bus stops at A
= 0 ( from A ) + 500 ( from B ) +  500 + 500 ( from C ) + 500 + 500 + 500 ( from D ) + 500 + 500 + 500 + 500 ( from E ) + 500 + 500 + 500 + 500 + 2000 ( from F )
= 0 + 500 + 1000 + 1500 + 2000 + 4000
= 9000 ft

at B
= 500 ( from A ) + 0 ( from B ) + 500 ( from C ) + 500 + 500 ( from D ) + 500 + 500 + 500 ( from E ) + 500 + 500 + 500 + 2000 ( from F )
= 500 + 0 + 500 + 1000 + 1500 + 3500
= 7000 ft

at C
= 500 ( from A ) + 500 + 500 ( from B ) + 0 ( from C ) + 500 ( from D ) + 500 + 500 ( from E ) + 500 + 500 + 2000 ( from F )
= 500 + 1000 + 0 + 500 + 1000 + 3000
= 6000 ft

Do the same for D ,  E  and F

at D
= 6000 ft

at E 
= 7000 ft

at F
= 15000 ft

You will find that the bus should stop at either C or D to make the sum of distances from every house to the stop as small as possible.

Answers:

The z scores are approximately:

  • Care of Magical Creatures:  z = 0.333
  • Defense Against the Dark Arts:  z = 0.583
  • Transfiguration:  z = -0.263
  • Potions: z = -0.533

From those scores, we can say:

  • Best grade = Defense Against the Dark Arts
  • Worst grade = Potions

=====================================================

Further Explanation:

We'll need to convert each given score to a corresponding standardized z score.

The formula to use is

z = (x - mu)/sigma

where,

  • x = given grade for each class
  • mu = mean
  • sigma = standard deviation

Let's find the z score for the Care of Magical Creatures class

z = (x - mu)/sigma

z = (3.80 - 3.75)/(0.15)

z = 0.333 approximately

Repeat this process for the Defense Against the Dark Arts score.

z = (x - mu)/sigma

z = (3.60 - 3.25)/(0.60)

z = 0.583 approximately

And for the Transfiguration class as well

z = (x - mu)/sigma

z = (3.10 - 3.20)/(0.38)

z = -0.263 approximately

The negative z score means his grade below the average, whereas earlier the other scores were above the average since he got positive z scores.

Now do the final class (Potions) to get this z score

z = (x - mu)/sigma

z = (2.50 - 2.90)/(0.75)

z = -0.533 approximately

This grade is below average as well.

----------------------------

To summarize, we have these z scores

  • Care of Magical Creatures:  z = 0.333
  • Defense Against the Dark Arts:  z = 0.583
  • Transfiguration:  z = -0.263
  • Potions: z = -0.533

Harry did his best in Defense Against the Dark Arts because the z score of 0.583 (approximate) is the largest of the four z scores. On the other hand, his worst grade is in Potions because -0.533 is the lowest z score.
