Question

See if you can figure this MATLAB program out The display must be done using fprintf:

The average monthly precipitation (in.) for Boston and Seattle during 2012 are given in the

vectors below (data from the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration).

BOS = [2.34 .86 1.56 3.89 2.56 6.74 3.55 7.65 9

.75 2.34 5.32 8.53]

SEA = [6.43 5.24 3.45 .67 1.23 4.54 6.45 8.54 7.84 1.34 3.54 4.87]

Where the elements in the vectors are in the order of the months (January, February, etc.)

Write a program in a script file to answer the following:

(a)

Calculate the total precipitation for the year and monthly average precipitation in each

city.

(b) How many months was the precipitation greater than 6.23 in each city?

(c) How many months, and on which months, was the average precipitation in Seattle

greater than the precipitations in Boston
