Let $X$ be a random variable, and let $P(X=x)$ denote the probability that $X$ takes the value $x$. Suppose that the points $(x, P(X=x)), x=0,1,2,3,4$, lie on a fixed straight line in the $x y$-plane, and $P(X=x)=0$ for all $x \in R$ $\{0,1,2,3,4\}$. If the mean of $X$ is $\frac{5}{2}$, and the variance of $X$ is $\alpha$, then the value of $24 \alpha$ is. . . . .

Let $n \geq 3$. A list of numbers $0 < x_1 < x_2 < \ldots < x_n$ has mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$. A new list of numbers is made as follows: $y_1=0, y_2=x_2, \ldots, x_{n-1}$ $=x_n-1, y_n=x_1+x_n$. The mean and the standard deviation of the new list are $\hat{\mu}$ and $\hat{\sigma}$.

The mean and standard deviation of $20$ observations were calculated as $10$ and $2.5$ respectively. It was found that by mistake one data value was taken as $25$ instead of $35 .$ If $\alpha$ and $\sqrt{\beta}$ are the mean and standard deviation respectively for correct data, then $(\alpha, \beta)$ is :
