Data of an experiment to measure the tensile strength y of a balloon is shown in Table 1. When
the thickness, z of the balloon is known, the tensile strength, y can be calculated by the
following equation:

A solution using MATLAB commands to determine the tensile strength in each test, and the
average from all tests, y_ave was proposed as in Figure 1. Complete the solution with the
correct commands.
