How would I divide a 206x1 double it into 5 equal sections and average the values

I have want to average the data from a 206x1 double in 5 sections. In other words I want to average from 1-41.2, from 41.2-82.4, etc. without matlab rounding the element number to the nearest integer. Is this possible?

I am not exactly sure what you mean. If you have matrix (M -206x1) and you want to find the mean of different groupings, then:

[~,~,a]=histcounts(M,[1,41.2,82.4,123.6,164.8,206]);%or whatever groupings you want
for k=1:5
    m(k)=mean(M(a==k));%calculates the mean of each grouping and stores them in array (m)
end
