The Python statistics module provides a quick way to get statistics. Here is the Python code [#1]

import statistics
dataList1 = [
	0, 42, 43, 47, 65, 43, 7, 0,
	43, 43, 59, 44, 47, 20, 35, 35, 55,
	37, 63, 40, 59, 47, 44, 50, 47, 28,
	45, 29, 9, 29, 30, 62, 21, 53, 45, 23,
	47, 15, 26, 27, 27, 60, 33, 34, 31
	]
dataLen1 = len(dataList1)
mean1 = statistics.mean(dataList1)
median1 = statistics.median(dataList1)
mode1 = statistics.mode(dataList1)
stdev1 = statistics.stdev(dataList1)
print("Data summary:")
print("")
print("\t{0:d} (data points)".format(dataLen1))
print("")
print("\t{0:3.2f} (mean)".format(mean1))
print("\t{0:3.2f} (median)".format(median1))
print("\t{0:3.2f} (mode)".format(mode1))
print("\t{0:3.2f} (standard deviation)".format(stdev1))

Note that the Python mode function returns an error if there is not a unique mode. This case does not appear in this data and is not handled here. Here is the output of the Python code.

Data summary:
	45 (data points)
	37.53 (mean)
	42.00 (median)
	47.00 (mode)
	16.18 (standard deviation)
