Chapter 20, Problem 11RQ
A zombie picks up a calculator and starts adding odd whole numbers together, in order: 1 + 3 + 5 + …etc. What will be the last number the zombie will add that will make the sum on his calculator greater than 10,000? Your task is to write the MATLAB code necessary to solve this problem for the zombie or he will eat your brain. The user should be asked to enter the target number (10,000), and your code should be written in such a way that if a target number other than 10,000 is entered, the correct answer for the value entered will be determined.

The picture that has two graphs are generated by this code. Every time I run it on MATLAB it keeps generating graphs with different curves. The picture that shows one graph is the curve that I want to keep. Please keep the color of the lines and the circles and keep the title of the graph the same. I want everything to be the same except I want the line to look exactly like the picture with one graph on it.
Use this code on MATLAB and fix it and then send the correct code back please.
% Sample data for Diesel and Petrol cars
carPosition = linspace(1, 60, 50); % Assumed positions of cars
% Use the 'seed' function instead of 'rng'
seed = 50; % Define your seed here
rand('seed',seed);
% Assumed CO2 emissions for Diesel and Petrol
CO2Diesel = 25 + 5*cos(carPosition/60*2*pi) + randn(1, 50)*5; % Random data for Diesel
CO2Petrol = 20 + 5*sin(carPosition/60*2*pi) + randn(1, 50)*5; % Random data for Petrol
% Fit polynomial curves with a reduced degree of 2

If you look at my notes to solve the problem there is already a formula in place as I always thought the Patm should also be multiplied by the Area in the numerator, but it's not if I look at this specific tutorial solution given by my course but it's not explained why. I have done a while ago a very similar problem with using that formula in my notes and it gave me the right results, but it's not working for this one. Could you please help me understand why as I have a test coming soon?
