In an experiment with $15$ observations on $x$,we have $\sum x^2 = 2830$ and $\sum x = 170$. One observation that was $20$ was found to be wrong and was replaced by the correct value $30$. The corrected variance is:

In a discrete data,$\frac{1}{4}$ of the observations are equal to $a$,another $\frac{1}{4}$ of the observations are equal to $-a$. Out of the remaining,half of them are equal to $b$ and the rest are equal to $-b$. If the variance of all the observations is $ab$,then:

The variance of the first $10$ multiples of $3$ is:

The variance and mean of $15$ observations are respectively $6$ and $10$. If each observation is increased by $8$,then the new variance and new mean of the resulting observations are respectively:
