How would you answer this?

Sherds of clay vessels were put together to reconstruct rim diameters of the original ceramic vessels at the Wind Mountain
archaeological sitet. A random sample of ceramic vessels gave the following rim diameters (in centimeters).
15.9 13.4 22.1 12.7 13.1 19.6 11.7 13.5 17.7 18.1
(a) Use a calculator with mean and sample standard deviation keys to find the sample mean x and sample standard
deviation s. (Round your answers to one decimal place.)
X =
cm
S =
