How to find the average of y over a range of x?

Hi Everyone,
I have a dataset containing two variables, x (time) and y (amplitude). I want to find the average amplitude over a given time range. I'm very much a beginner with MatLab and any help would be appreciated!

% some times, x:
x = 0:0.01:9
% some amplitudes, y:
y = sin(x)
% plot y vs x to visualize (see plot below):
plot(x,y)
% a time range, x_min and x_max:
x_min = 2.2;
x_max = 2.9;
% find the average value of y, where x is within the interval [x_min,x_max]:
y_avg = mean(y(x >= x_min & x <= x_max))
% plot that too:
hold on
plot([x_min x_max],[y_avg y_avg])

You're welcome!
Yes, this will average just the positive numbers within the given range:
% some times, x:
x = 0:0.01:9;
% some amplitudes, y:
y = sin(x);
% a time range, x_min and x_max:
% (pick a range that includes some non-positive y values)
x_min = 2;
x_max = 6;
% find the average value of y, where x is within the interval [x_min,x_max]
% and y is positive:
y_avg = mean(y(x >= x_min & x <= x_max & y > 0))
