Table: Queries
+-------------+---------+
| Column Name | Type |
+-------------+---------+
| query_name | varchar |
| result | varchar |
| position | int |
| rating | int |
+-------------+---------+
This table may have duplicate rows.
This table contains information collected from some queries on a database.
The position column has a value from 1 to 500.
The rating column has a value from 1 to 5. Query with rating less than 3 is a poor query.
We define query quality as:
The average of the ratio between query rating and its position.
We also define poor query percentage as:
The percentage of all queries with rating less than 3.
Write a solution to find each query_name, the quality and poor_query_percentage.
Both quality and poor_query_percentage should be rounded to 2 decimal places.
Return the result table in any order.
The result format is in the following example.

# Table: Queries

# | Column Name | Type |

# | position | int |
# | rating | int |

# This table may have duplicate rows.
# This table contains information collected from some queries on a database.
# The position column has a value from 1 to 500.
# The rating column has a value from 1 to 5. Query with rating less than 3 is a poor query.
# We define query quality as:
# The average of the ratio between query rating and its position.
# We also define poor query percentage as:
# The percentage of all queries with rating less than 3.
# Write a solution to find each query_name, the quality and poor_query_percentage.
# Both quality and poor_query_percentage should be rounded to 2 decimal places.
# Return the result table in any order.
# The result format is in the following example.
# Example 1:
# Input:
# Queries table:
# +------------+-------------------+----------+--------+
# | query_name | result | position | rating |
# +------------+-------------------+----------+--------+
# | Dog | Golden Retriever | 1 | 5 |
# | Dog | German Shepherd | 2 | 5 |
# | Dog | Mule | 200 | 1 |
# | Cat | Shirazi | 5 | 2 |
# | Cat | Siamese | 3 | 3 |
# | Cat | Sphynx | 7 | 4 |
# +------------+-------------------+----------+--------+
# Output:
# +------------+---------+-----------------------+
# | query_name | quality | poor_query_percentage |
# +------------+---------+-----------------------+
# | Dog | 2.50 | 33.33 |
# | Cat | 0.66 | 33.33 |
# +------------+---------+-----------------------+
# Explanation:
# Dog queries quality is ((5 / 1) + (5 / 2) + (1 / 200)) / 3 = 2.50
# Dog queries poor_ query_percentage is (1 / 3) * 100 = 33.33
# Cat queries quality equals ((2 / 5) + (3 / 3) + (4 / 7)) / 3 = 0.66
# Cat queries poor_ query_percentage is (1 / 3) * 100 = 33.33
#
# Write your MySQL query statement below
