Calculate the ratio of the size of the uncompressed file on disk to the compressed file on disk.

image file size does not tell you compression ratio very well. image files have headers, and in some formats can have extra comments of arbitrary size.
Most image formats default to compressing the data. JPEG defaults to compressing the data in a lossy manner (throws away information); most of the other formats preserve all of the information.
In terms of the original question, the file was said to be a MAT file, which is not an image file format, so imfinfo will not tell you anything about it.
MAT files compress by default, but not always every item.
