Explanation of Solution

Program:

File name: “DistanceFromAverage.java”

//Import necessary header files

import java.util.Scanner;

//Define a class named DistanceFromAverage

public class DistanceFromAverage

{

    //Define main method

    public static void main(String[] args)

    {

        //Declare an array of values

        double arr[] = new double[15];

        //Declare the variables

        int count=0;

        double total=0;

        //Create an object for Scanner class

        Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);

        //For loop to be executed until i exceeds 15

        for(int i=0;i<arr.length;i++)

        {  

            //Prompt the user to enter any 15 numbers

System.out.println("Enter a value (99999 to quit): ");

            //Read the numbers

            double n = sc.nextDouble();

/*The user should enter 99999 to quit entering numbers*/

            if(n==99999)

            {

                break;

            }

            //Else if the user does not enter 99999

            else

            {
