Textbook Question
Chapter 17, Problem 38ICA
You are an engineer working for M & M / Mars Corporation in the M&M plant. For Halloween, M&Ms are produced in “fun size.” To help with quality control, you create the following worksheet. The factory workers will examine sample bags of M&Ms and enter the weight of the bag and the individual count of M&Ms contained in the bag.
Online, you have been given the following data in a Microsoft Excel workbook called CandyCount.xlsx with the data stored on a sheet named “M and M data.” Only a portion of the actual data is shown.
Write a MATLAB program to read in the Excel data, calculate the data required as shown in the following output table, and write the results to a new Microsoft Excel file. Your output should appear as follows, where the highlighted portion is replaced by the values you calculate in your solution. Your program should also use formatted fprintf statements to display the same table in the Command Window, filling in the missing information (highlighted) and displaying the data using a reasonable number of decimal places.
The program should assume the user could enter more data to the original worksheet or modify the color names on the worksheet and the program would still run correctly.
