all computations to be done in matlab using the imported data file. nothing can be done by hand. based on the land average temperature column, calculate the yearly averages for each year between 1760 and 2015 (the average of the twelve months of each year). one average per year. ignore the years 1750-1759. based on the land average temperature column, calculate the average land temperature for the centuries: 18th century (1760-1799), 19th century (1800-1899), 20th century (1900-1999) and 21st century (2000-2015).

Final answer:

To calculate yearly averages and average land temperature based on imported data in MATLAB, follow these steps.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the yearly averages for each year between 1760 and 2015 based on the land average temperature column in MATLAB, you can follow these steps:

  1. Import the data file into MATLAB.
  2. Extract the land average temperature column from the imported data.
  3. Compute the yearly averages for each year by taking the average of the twelve months of each year.
  4. Ignore the years 1750-1759.
  5. Calculate the average land temperature for each century by considering the appropriate range of years.

For the second part of the question, you can use the same methodology to calculate the average land temperature for each century. The 18th century would be from 1760 to 1799, the 19th century would be from 1800 to 1899, the 20th century would be from 1900 to 1999, and the 21st century would be from 2000 to 2015.
