This file contains the reported box, cup and soft tissue package volumes measured by
past students.
a) Import the box and tissue volumes into Matlab. Define column vectors for each
data set. Use Matlab to calculate the statistical measures of the box volumes:
average, standard deviation,代 写AME 209/MSE 280 geometric mean median, geometric mean, range (maximumminimum),
and the normalized range (range/average, expressed as a percentage).
b) Is the standard deviation calculated by Matlab the sample or population standard
deviation?
c) Use the Matlab histfit function to draw a histogram and the normal distribution
curve fitting the data. Group the data into 10 bins. Label the axes, and give the plot
a descriptive title.
d) Do you think the normal distribution curve fits the data well?
- Repeat the above steps with the tissue volume data.

(a) Plot the data with linear axes.
(b) Using linear regression and the Matlab fit command (not the Matlab fitting tool
on the plot window), determine the equation of the best-fit line.
(c) Draw the line on the curve.
(d) What level of sales would you expect from aptitude scores of 40, 50, 70?
