I'm sure this took little time to write, and so if your boss asked you to solve this problem he'd be very happy (bosses never want you to reinvent the wheel).
My question is though, what have you learned about stats by doing this? I'd say no more than I learn about cooking when putting a ready-meal in the microwave. My pure C solution took me ages, but if I didn't already know mean/mode/median I sure as hell would now!
Not meaning to be offensive by this, perhaps the real question should be is this challenge to learn about stats, or is it to learn about how to code a solution to a stats problem without needing to know anything about stats at all?
