From a lot of $12$ items containing $3$ defectives, a sample of $5$ items is drawn at random. Let the random variable $\mathrm{X}$ denote the number of defective items in the sample. Let items in the sample be drawn one by one without replacement. If variance of $X$ is $\frac{m}{n}$, where $\operatorname{gcd}(m, n)=1$, then $n-m$ is equal to..........

Let sets $A$ and $B$ have $5$ elements each. Let the mean of the elements in sets $A$ and $B$ be $5$ and $8$ respectively and the variance of the elements in sets $A$ and $B$ be $12$ and $20$ respectively $A$ new set $C$ of $10$ elements is formed by subtracting $3$ from each element of $A$ and adding 2 to each element of B. Then the sum of the mean and variance of the elements of $C$ is $.......$.
