Question

(statistics.py) Write a program that reads data from the file provided, data.txt, into a list. Once the data are in a list, calculate and print the following:

   sum = 69.28
   mean = 3.46
   min = 0.19
   max = 8.29

You may use the Python built-ins, min(), max(), and sum(). Format the numbers using '.2f'.

Answer 1

file = open("data.txt")
lst = []
for x in file:
    lst.append(float(x.strip()))
print("sum = %.2f"%sum(lst))
print("mean = %.2f"%(sum(lst)/len(lst)))
print("min = %.2f"%min(lst))
print("max = %.2f"%max(lst))
