Find the longitudinal modulus E using the regression model.sigma=E*epsilon

i must find only one E for all equations.how can i find the number provided for each value? can anyone suggest smthng? thx

The key is the phrase "regression model" in your question. If you google this, you'll find lots of references, e.g. on Wikipedia, that will show how to solve the problem. Once you've understood the maths, you will find that writing a program in Matlab is very simple.
