Calculated questions are numerical questions where the numbers used are selected randomly each time the quiz is taken. They allow individual questions to be created using wildcards that are substituted with different values each time. For example, a question asking for the area of a rectangle with random length and width values. Creating a calculated question is a multi-step process involving entering question details, answers, feedback, and defining the properties of the random values used.
