Let $X _{1}, X _{2}, \ldots, X _{18}$ be eighteen observations such that $\sum_{ i =1}^{18}\left( X _{ i }-\alpha\right)=36 \quad$ and $\sum_{i=1}^{18}\left(X_{i}-\beta\right)^{2}=90,$ where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are distinct real numbers. If the standard deviation of these observations is $1,$ then the value of $|\alpha-\beta|$ is ...... .

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
