Answer:
-%Define the function.
function [avg, ele_left] = average_of_scores_with_drops(input_list, drop_element)
%Sort the list.
input_list = sort(input_list);
%Compute the length of the list.
len_list = length(input_list);
%Declare and initialize the variable.
sum = 0;
%Increase the element to be dropped by 1.
i = drop_element + 1;
%begin the for loop.
for k = i: length(input_list)
%Add the elements.
sum = sum + input_list(k);
%End of the for loop.
end
%Compute the elements left after dropping the dropped element.
ele_left = length(input_list) - drop_element;
%Compute the average of the elements left.
avg = sum/ele_left;
%End of the function defined.
end
%Run the following code in the command prompt.
%Call the function and return the average
%score and the number of elements
%whose average is computed.
average_score, number_of_items = average_of_scores_with_drops([8 6 1 2 3 5 10], 2)
SAMPLE OF OUTPUT
average_score = 6.40000000000000
number_of_items = 5
