Mean is 20.8125
sd for a sample is to take the difference of each value from the mean, square it, add them all up and divide by 7. Then take the square root of the value. For a population, divide by 8 and then take the square root.
sd for sample is 4.07; for a population 3.81. The asker probably wants the first value.
