Write a program that takes, as input, five numbers and outputs the mean (average) and standard deviation of the numbers. If the numbers are x₁, x₂, x₃, x₄, and x₅, then the mean is: x = (x₁+ x₂+ x₃+ x₄+x₅)/5 and the standard deviation is: s = √(((x₁-x)²+(x₂-x)²+(x₃-x)²+(x₄-x)²+(x₅-x)²)/5) Your program must contain at least the following functions: a function that calculates and returns the mean and a function that calculates the standard deviation. Format your output with setprecision(2) to ensure the proper number of decimals for testing!

Instructions

Write a program that takes, as input, five numbers and outputs the mean (average) and standard deviation of the numbers. If the numbers are x₁, x₂, x₃, x₄, and x₅, then the mean is:

x = (x₁+ x₂+ x₃+ x₄+x₅)/5

and the standard deviation is:

s = √(((x₁-x)²+(x₂-x)²+(x₃-x)²+(x₄-x)²+(x₅-x)²)/5)

Your program must contain at least the following functions: a function that calculates and returns the mean and a function that calculates the standard deviation.

Format your output with setprecision(2) to ensure the proper number of decimals for testing!
