If $\sum \limits_{i=1}^{n}\left(x_{i}-a\right)=n$ and $\sum \limits_{i=1}^{n}\left(x_{i}-a\right)^{2}=n a,(n, a>1)$ then the standard deviation of $n$ observations $x _{1}, x _{2}, \ldots, x _{ n }$ is

The mean and variance of $8$ observations are $10$ and $13.5,$ respectively. If $6$ of these observations are $5,7,10,12,14,15,$ then the absolute difference of the remaining two observations is 

Two sets each of 20 observations, have the same standard derivation 5. The first set has a mean 17 and the second a mean 22. Determine the standard deviation of the set obtained by combining the given two sets.

Let $n \geq 3$. A list of numbers $x_1, x, \ldots, x_n$ has mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$. A new list of numbers $y_1, y_2, \ldots, y_n$ is made as follows $y_1=\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, y_2=\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}$ and $y_j=x_j$ for $j=3,4, \ldots, n$.

The mean and the standard deviation of the new list are $\hat{\mu}$ and $\hat{\sigma}$. Then, which of the following is necessarily true?

Let $9 < x_1 < x_2 < \ldots < x_7$ be in an $A.P.$ with common difference $d$. If the standard deviation of $x_1, x_2 \ldots$, $x _7$ is $4$ and the mean is $\overline{ x }$, then $\overline{ x }+ x _6$ is equal to:

Let $x_1, x_2,........,x_n$ be $n$ observations such that $\sum {{x_i}^2 = 300} $ and $\sum {{x_i} = 60} $ on value of $n$ among the following is
