The average marks of $10$ students in a class was $60$ with a standard deviation $4$ , while the average marks of other ten students was $40$ with a standard deviation $6$ . If all the $20$ students are taken together, their standard deviation will be

If for a distribution $\Sigma(x-5)=3, \Sigma(x-5)^{2}=43$ and the total number of item is $18,$ find the mean and 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 $X _{1}, X _{2}, \ldots, X _{18}$ 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 of the numbers $a, b, 8,5,10$ is $6$ and their variance is $6.8$. If $M$ is the mean deviation of the numbers about the mean, then $25\; M$ is equal to
