Use Matlab functions to solve the problems and to obtain the graphs.
1. Use data from Table 3.1 [2] to calculate descriptive statistics, to obtain
histogram and frequency diagram, to fit normal and lognormal distribution
functions, to plot them on top of histogram, and to calculate the probability
of E having a value between 28,000 ksi and 29,500 ksi (Similar to
Example 4.2 and 4.4 [2]).
2. Solve Example 4.5 [2] using Matlab functions.
Please upload Matlab m-files and the results. Please submit a clear and well
organized report.
