A nutritionist suspects that the caffeine content is actually lower than 160 mg.

The nutritionist tests a sample and records the following summary statistics:

n=150∑x=23745∑x2=3776363 n = 150 \quad \sum x = 23745 \quad \sum x^2 = 3776363 n=150∑x=23745∑x2=3776363
a.

Find the mean and standard deviation of the sample.
