Answer to Problem 8.1P

Solution:

The file is,

%MATLAB code to create a cell array and perform the operations.

%cell array file.

X = {41,'hiii', 1:4;'matlab', 10, 1:2:9}

%define a cell array.

X{randi(numel(X))}

%define the random element from the cell array.

Z = X'

%get the transpose of the cell array.

Z{randi(numel(Z))}

%define the random element from the above cell array.

%end of cell array file

%The cell array file should be placed in the same folder.

The function file is,

%MATLAB code to create a cell array and get the random element from the cell arary.

%function file.

function A = randomelement(cell)

A = cell{randi(numel(cell))};

end

%end of function file

%The function file should be placed in the same folder

Explanation of Solution

Consider the cell array is,

 A = {41,'hiii', 1:4;'matlab', 10, 1:2:9}

The random element from the above array is,

ans=‘hiii’

MATLAB Code:

clc

clear all

close all

%MATLAB code to create a cell array and perform the operations.

%cell array file.

X = {41,'hiii', 1:4;'matlab', 10, 1:2:9}

%define a cell array.

X{randi(numel(X))}

%define the random element from the cell array.

Z = X'

%get the transpose of the cell array.

Z{randi(numel(Z))}

%define the random element from the above cell array.

%end of cell array file

%The cell array file should be placed in the same folder.

%MATLAB code to create a cell array and get the random element from the cell arary.

%function file.

function A = randomelement(cell)

A = cell{randi(numel(cell))};

end

%end of function file

%The function file should be placed in the same folder

Save the MATLAB cell array file with name, chapter8_54793_8_1P.m and a function file with the name of randomelement.m in the current folder. Execute the function by typing the function name at the command window to generate output.

The customer help center in your company receives calls from customers who need help with some of the customized software solutions your company provides. Your company claims that the average waiting time is 7 minutes at the busiest time, from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m., Monday through Thursday. One of your main clients has recently complained that every time she calls during the busy hours, the waiting time exceeds 7 minutes. You conduct a statistical study to determine the average waiting time with a sample of 35 calls for which you obtain an average waiting time of 8.15 minutes. If the population standard deviation is known to be 4.2 minutes, and a = 0.05, the p-value is approximately 0.05 0.025 ○ 0.053 ○ 0.10 ○ 0.026
