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. . . . .
$20$
$30$

Suppose a class has $7$ students. The average marks of these students in the mathematics examination is $62$, and their variance is $20$ . A student fails in the examination if $he/she$ gets less than $50$ marks, then in worst case, the number of students can fail is
The mean and standard deviation of $100$ observations were calculated as $40$ and $5.1$ , respectively by a student who took by mistake $50$ instead of $40$ for one observation. What are the correct mean and standard deviation?
If the variance of the frequency distribution is $3$ then $\alpha$ is ......
$X_i$ | $2$ | $3$ | $4$ | $5$ | $6$ | $7$ | $8$ |
Frequency $f_i$ | $3$ | $6$ | $16$ | $\alpha$ | $9$ | $5$ | $6$ |
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 $\hat{\sigma}$. Which of the following is necessarily true?
If the data $x_1, x_2, ...., x_{10}$ is such that the mean of first four of these is $11$, the mean of the remaining six is $16$ and the sum of squares of all of these is $2,000$; then the standard deviation of this data is
