Errorbar on bar graph using table values

How can I add an error bar using table values to my bar graph?

Relevant code:

clear

close all

format shortG

T=readtable('experiment1.xlsx');

T.subject=double(T.subject);

T.video=double(T.video);

T.estimates=double(T.estimates);

T.verbs=cellstr(T.verbs);

T(1:5,:)

[v,verbs] = findgroups(T.verbs);

[meanEstimates]=splitapply(@mean,T.estimates,v);

meanEstimates=round(meanEstimates,1);

table1=table(verbs,meanEstimates);

table1=renamevars(table1,"meanEstimates","Mean speed estimate");

table1=renamevars(table1,"verbs","Verb");

table1=sortrows(table1,"Mean speed estimate","descend");

figure

hold on

b1=bar(categorical(table1{1:5, 1}), table1{1:5, 2});

xlabel("Verb");

ylabel("Mean speed estimate");

title(["SPEED ESTIMATES FOR THE VERBS"; "USED IN EXPERIMENT 1"]);

errorbar(x,y,err) % im not sure what to write for the inputs

[Katherine Regalado Rosales]

so far whats worked is

errorbar(categorical(table1{1:5, 1}), table1{1:5, 2}),'.');

but I'm supposed to make the size the std of mean Estimates

To my understanding, currently the size of the error bar would be the value of the data in ‘Mean speed estimate ‘ column of the table. To make the size equal to the standard deviation of the values, you need to calculate the standard deviation. After calculating the standard deviation, you need to scale it to the size of the data you want to plot. Please have a look at the code section below

figure
hold on
b1=bar(categorical(table1{1:5, 1}), table1{1:5, 2})
temp=std(meanEstimates); % Defining a temperory variable 'temp' having value of standard deviation of the meanEstimates
err=ones(size(table1{1:5,2}))*temp; % Scaling the variable 'temp' to the size of data in table (here 5x1)
errorbar(table1{1:5,2},err) % Plotting the error bars
xlabel("Verb");
ylabel("Mean speed estimate");
title(["SPEED ESTIMATES FOR THE VERBS"; "USED IN EXPERIMENT 1"]);
hold off
