A consumer protection group regularly monitors gas prices in southern California.  One day (several years ago), they randomly sampled the prices for regular unleaded gasoline at 20 gas stations.  Those prices were:     3.95, 4.07, 4.14, 4.04, 4.00, 3.93, 3.98, 4.01, 3.90, 4.03,     4.13, 3.88, 4.03, 4.10, 3.81, 4.18, 3.88, 4.02, 4.13, 4.21 ## (a) In RStudio, create a variable to hold the sampled gas prices and enter the data (use the c() function to create a vector, rather than creating a data frame) (b) Calculate and print the mean of the sample. Use the cat() function for your output. (c) Calculate and print the standard deviation of the sample. Use the cat() function for your output.
