Finding a center locations

In lab, we learned how to plot a map and use ginput to select several points on the map. In lecture, we learned how to use a for loop to calculate an average.

Steps:

Plot a map of Lawrence using the following code:

lat $N=39$;

lats $=38\mathrm{.}9$;

long $E=264\mathrm{.}6$;

longW $=264\mathrm{.}9$;

geolimits$([$lats latN$],[$longE longW$])$

geobasemap streets

hold on

Use the ginput function to collect the $x$ and $y$ positions of $10$ points. These points should represent important locations around town $($your workplace, your school, the grocery store, the gas station, your favorite restaurants...$).$

From step $2,$ you should get an array for $x$ and an array for $y$ that both have $10$ points. For this, use a for loop to calculate the average $x$ and $y$ value:

xmean $=\frac{{\displaystyle \underset{i=1}{\overset{10}{}}}{x}_i}{10}$

ymean $=\frac{{\displaystyle \underset{i=1}{\overset{10}{}}}{y}_i}{10}$

Compare your answers to Matlab's built in mean function, for example: $x$ mean $2=$mean$(x)$;

Finally, plot your average location using the code:

geoplot $($xmean$,$ ymean, $\text{'}$d$\text{'},$ 'MarkerSize $\text{'},10,$ 'MarkerFaceColor' $,\text{'}$b$\text{'})$
