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:

  • A
    $a^2 = 4b^2$
  • B
    $a = -2b$
  • C
    $a = b$
  • D
    $a = -3b$

$A$ scientist weighs $30$ fish. Their mean weight is $30 \text{ g}$ and the standard deviation is $2 \text{ g}$. Later,it is discovered that the weighing scale was not calibrated correctly and every fish's weight was recorded $2 \text{ g}$ less than the actual weight. What are the correct mean and standard deviation (in grams) of the fish weights,respectively?
