If the mean and the standard deviation of the data $3, 5, 7, a, b$ are $5$ and $2$ respectively,then $a$ and $b$ are the roots of the equation:

Let $r$ be the range and $S^2 = \frac{1}{n - 1} \sum_{i = 1}^n (x_i - \bar{x})^2$ be the variance of a set of observations $x_1, x_2, \dots, x_n$. Then:

Let $\bar{x}, M$ and $\sigma^2$ be respectively the mean,mode and variance of $n$ observations $x_1, x_2, ..., x_n$ and $d_i = -x_i - a, i = 1, 2, ..., n$,where $a$ is any number. Statement $I$: Variance of $d_1, d_2, ..., d_n$ is $\sigma^2$. Statement $II$: Mean and mode of $d_1, d_2, ..., d_n$ are $-\bar{x} - a$ and $-M - a$,respectively.

The mean and standard deviation of $20$ observations are found to be $10$ and $2$ respectively. On rechecking,it was found that an observation $8$ was incorrect. If the incorrect observation $8$ is replaced by $12$,calculate the correct mean and standard deviation.

The mean and variance of eight observations are $9$ and $9.25,$ respectively. If six of the observations are $6, 7, 10, 12, 12,$ and $13,$ find the remaining two observations.

Let $y_1, y_2, y_3, \dots, y_n$ be $n$ observations. Let $w_i = l y_i + k$ for all $i = 1, 2, 3, \dots, n$,where $l$ and $k$ are constants. If the mean of $y_i$ is $48$ and their standard deviation is $12$,and the mean of $w_i$ is $55$ and their standard deviation is $15$,then the values of $l$ and $k$ are:
