To find the sample mean add them all up and divide by how many there are:

mean=(15+18+16+19+14+12+14+12+17+15+11)11mean=14.8181818181818182

To find the sample standard deviation use the following formula:

sd=ni=1(ximean)2n1

where n is the number of items (11 here), xi are the individual data values (15, 18 ... etc.), and ni=1 means sum all of the squared bracketed terms that follow.  

I'll leave you to plug in the numbers.

 

You give no information about what comparison is to be done, so there is no way I can say anything about what the null hypothesis and its alternate might be!
