Question

Write a function called h mean that takes as input the data set or vector x and returns the harmonic mean value as the output. Your code should be vectorized using MATLAB’s built-in vector operations, that is there is no need to use loops. An example of correct function behavior is as follows:

>> x = ones(1, 10);

>> m = h_mean(x)

m = 1

>> x = randi([1, 10], 1, 10);

>> m = h_mean(x)

m = 2.9412

I already know that the function is for calculating the harmonic mean of a vector, but I can't seem to assign the variable or output (m) to anything. Or so MATLAB says, CODY as well.

This is what I have so far ...

function m = h_mean(x)
%h_mean calculates the harmonic mean of a term. It takes one parameter as input: the data set or vector (x) and %provides one return value as the output:(m) harmonic mean
n = (1:1:10);
x = (1:1/10:.10);

end

Explanation / Answer

Problem 1 solution is :

>> x = exprnd(1,1,10);
m = harmmean(x);
m

m =

    0.2240

Answer for Question 2 is below:

x = exprnd(1,0/10,0.10);
m = harmmean(x);
m

Syntax of exprnd is below: size m and n must be integers not be decimal numbers . so the second exmaple have
the sizes as decimal numbers. so it is giving error
R = exprnd(mu,m,n,...) or R = exprnd(mu,[m,n,...]) generates an m-by-n-by-... array containing random numbers from the exponential distribution with mean parameter mu. mu can be a scalar or an array of the same size as R.
