Textbook Question
Chapter 18, Problem 30ICA
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.

Instructions for answering this question: The answer to this questian is required as handwritten where you are
aiso required to add a Handwritten integrity Statement. Pieose follow the below steps:
1 Write on a blank poper your AUM student ID, full name, course code, section and date
2 Write the following integrity statement and sign:
"7 offirm that I have neither given nor received any help on this assessment and that personally compieted it
on my own."
3. Write your onswer to the obove question as required
4. Put your Original Civil ID card or AUM ID card on the poper
5 Toke o picture or scan, and uplood
Important note: if handwritten document is submitted without the integrity stotement including ID (Civil ID or
AUM ID), then the related handwritten question(s) will not be groded.
Please make the exact graph that you see in the picture, along with the graph are numbers that are data. Please make the exact graph do not make anything thing different, the blue and orange circles should be there and the lines should be the same including the titles. Please make sure everything is exactly the same. Use MATLAB, and send the code and please make sure no error signs comes up. Take your time please I need help.

The pipe is covered with 3-cm-thick glass wool insulation with k = 0.05 W/m. °C. Heat is lost to surroundings at T2 = 5 °C by natural convection and radiation, with a combined heat transfer coefficient of h₂ = 18 W/m². °C. Taking the heat transfer coefficient inside the pipe to be h₁ = 60 W/m². °C, determine the temperature drops across the pipe and the insulation. The determination is based on a unit length of the pipe (L = 1 m). Assumptions 1. Heat transfer is one-dimensional since there is no indication of any change with time. 2. Heat transfer is one-dimensional since there is thermal symmetry about the centreline and no variation in the axial direction. 3. Thermal conductivities are constant. 4.
