The mean and the standard deviation (s.d.) of $10$ observations are $20$ and $2$ resepectively. Each of these $10$ observations is multiplied by $\mathrm{p}$ and then reduced by $\mathrm{q}$, where $\mathrm{p} \neq 0$ and $\mathrm{q} \neq 0 .$ If the new mean and new s.d. become half of their original values, then $q$ is equal to

For two data sets, each of size $5$, the variances are given to be $4$ and $5$ and the corresponding means are given to be $2$ and $4$, respectively. The variance of the combined data set is

The frequency distribution:

$\begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|} \hline X & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 \\ f & 4 & 9 & 16 & 14 & 11 & 6 \\ \hline \end{array}$

Find the standard deviation.

The mean and standard deviation of a group of $100$ observations were found to be $20$ and $3,$ respectively. Later on it was found that three observations were incorrect, which were recorded as $21,21$ and $18 .$ Find the mean and standard deviation if the incorrect observations are omitted.

Let the six numbers $a_1, a_2, a_3, a_4, a_5, a_6$ be in $A.P.$ and $a_1+a_3=10$. If the mean of these six numbers is $\frac{19}{2}$ and their variance is $\sigma^2$, then $8 \sigma^2$ is equal to
