The mean and standard deviation of six observations are $8$ and $4,$ respectively. If each observation is multiplied by $3,$ find the new mean and new standard deviation of the resulting observations.

Let in a series of $2n$ observations,half of them are equal to $a$ and the remaining half are equal to $-a$. Also,by adding a constant $b$ to each of these observations,the mean and standard deviation of the new set become $5$ and $20$,respectively. Then the value of $a^{2} + b^{2}$ is equal to ....... .
