**Problem 7: Finding the Mean and Standard Deviation**

**Objective:**  
Calculate the mean and standard deviation of the provided data set. Round the answers to two decimal places.

**Data Set:**  
16, 20, 15, 6, 24, 18

**Instructions:**  
1. **Find the Mean:**
   - Add all the numbers in the data set.
   - Divide the sum by the number of data points.

2. **Find the Standard Deviation:**
   - Calculate the difference between each data point and the mean, then square that difference.
   - Find the average of these squared differences.
   - Take the square root of this average to find the standard deviation.

**Reminder:**  
Ensure all final answers are rounded to two decimal places.
