How to write the codes for this?
Show older comments
i am trying to get the value for b.

where
t = [89;132;202;263;321;362;421;473;575;663]
n=10;
syms b
[b] = solve((1/b) + sum(log(t))/10 - 1.*sum(t.^b).*log(t)/(sum(t.^b))==0)
i tried this code to find 'b' but i am not getting the value of 'b'. How can i get the value for 'b'?

Your t is a vector.
[b] = solve((1/b) + sum(log(t))/10 - 1/(sum(t.^b)/10).*sum(t.^b).*log(t)==0)
You have log(t) there at the end, in a context that is not inside a sum() like the rest of the places you use t. Therefore you are generating a vector of equations, and you are asking solve() to find a single t that solves all of the equations simultaneously.
You need to re-check your last term. For example there is a numeric solution for
vpasolve((1/b) + sum(log(t))/10 - 1/(sum(t.^b)/10).*sum(t.^b.*log(t))==0, 0.02)
