Textbook Question
Chapter 20, Problem 2RQ
A matrix names mach contains three columns of data concerning the energy output of several machines. The first column contains an ID code for a specific machine, the second column contains the total amount of energy produced by that machine in calories, and the third column contains the amount of time required by that machine to produce the energy listed in column 2 in hours. Write a function name MPower to accept as input the matrix mach and return a new matrix named P containing two columns and the same number of rows as mach. The first column should contain the machine ID codes, and the second column should contain the average power generated by each machine in units of watts. You must use a loop to accomplish this. Do not use direct matrix operations.
