The outcome of each of $30$ items was observed; $10$ items gave an outcome $\frac{1}{2} - d$ each,$10$ items gave an outcome $\frac{1}{2}$ each,and the remaining $10$ items gave an outcome $\frac{1}{2} + d$ each. If the variance of this outcome data is $\frac{4}{3}$,then $|d|$ equals:

The mean and standard deviation of $100$ items are $50$ and $4$ respectively. The sum of the squares of all the items is:

What is the formula for finding the coefficient of variation,given $\sigma = \text{standard deviation}$ and $\bar{x} = \text{mean} \neq 0$?

Let ${x_1}, {x_2}, \ldots, {x_n}$ be $n$ observations,and let $\bar x$ be their arithmetic mean and ${\sigma ^2}$ be the variance.
Statement-$1$: The variance of $2{x_1}, 2{x_2}, \ldots, 2{x_n}$ is $4{\sigma ^2}$.
Statement-$2$: The arithmetic mean of $2{x_1}, 2{x_2}, \ldots, 2{x_n}$ is $4\bar x$.

The frequency distribution is given below:
$\begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|} \hline X & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 \\ f & 4 & 9 & 16 & 14 & 11 & 6 \\ \hline \end{array}$
Find the standard deviation.
