I've never had experience with a program that has taken methods from another class. But I have created a public class that has methods that im suppose to import to another java program to test. I dont know how to do this.

This is my code with the testing in the main method and the other methods i should have imported.
Code
import java.io.*;
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.Arrays;

public class Static_Methods
{

   public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
   {
    File input = new File("Scores.txt");
    Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(input);
    int[] scores = new int[36];
    int total = 0;
    int average;
    int highest;
    int lowest;
    int median;
    int[] deviations = new int[36];
    PrintWriter output = new PrintWriter("deviations.txt");
    double stdDev;
    int counter = 0;
    float comparison = 0;

 System.out.println("Scores:");
    for(int i=0;i<scores.length;i++)
    {
     scores[i] = keyboard.nextInt();
     System.out.print(scores[i] + " ");
     if((i+1)%4 ==0)
     {
      System.out.print("\n");
     }
    }

 System.out.println();
    total = getTotal(scores);
    average = getAverage(total, scores);
    System.out.println("Average: " + average);

    Arrays.sort(scores);

    highest = getHighest(scores);
    System.out.println("Highest Score: " + highest);

    lowest = getLowest(scores);
    System.out.println("Lowest Score: " + lowest);

    median = getMedian(scores);
    System.out.println("Median: " + median + "\n");

    getPosition(scores);

 getDeviations(scores, deviations, average);
 for(int i=0;i<deviations.length;i++)
 {
  output.print(deviations[i] + " ");
 }

 stdDev = getStdDev(deviations);
 System.out.println("Standard Deviation: " + stdDev);

 for(int i=0;i<scores.length;i++)
 {
  if((average-stdDev)<= scores[i] && scores[i]<=(average+stdDev))
  {
   counter++;
  }
 }

 comparison = ((float)counter / (float)(scores.length)) * 100;

 System.out.println("Scores within one standard deviation: " + counter);

 if(60 <= comparison && comparison <=70)
 {
  System.out.println("The percent of scores within one deviation is " + comparison + "% and is similar to the Normal Distribution.");
 }
 else if(comparison<60)
 {
  System.out.println("The percent of scores within one deviation is " + comparison + "% and is lower to the Normal Distribution.");
 }
 else if(comparison>60)
 {
  System.out.println("The percent of scores within one deviation is " + comparison + "% and is higher to the Normal Distribution.");
 }

 output.close();


   }

   /*Method named getTotal to get the total of all the
   scores to calculate the average*/
   public static int getTotal(int[] scores) throws IOException
   {
    int total = 0;
    for(int i=0;i<scores.length;i++)

     total += scores[i];
    }

    return total;
   }

   //Method using the total from getTotal to calculate the average
   public static int getAverage(int total, int[]scores) throws IOException

Just create another file, put it in the same directory as that one, and from the other file, call the methods like this:
Code
Static_Methods.getLowest(scores)
or
Static_Methods.getAverage(scores)

Basically you should be able to just cut and paste the main method you already have into that new file, and add "Static_Methods." before each method call.

Well since it is a java.class and not a library you just have to drag and drop it into the package of your new project.
