The mean and standard deviation of a group of $100$ observations were found to be $20$ and $3$,respectively. Later on,it was found that three observations were incorrect,which were recorded as $21, 21,$ and $18$. Find the mean and standard deviation if the incorrect observations are omitted.

If both mean and variance of $50$ observations $x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_{50}$ are equal to $16$ and $256$ respectively,then the mean of $(x_1-5)^2, (x_2-5)^2, \ldots, (x_{50}-5)^2$ is

Let sets $A$ and $B$ have $5$ elements each. Let the mean of the elements in sets $A$ and $B$ be $5$ and $8$ respectively,and the variance of the elements in sets $A$ and $B$ be $12$ and $20$ respectively. $A$ new set $C$ of $10$ elements is formed by subtracting $3$ from each element of $A$ and adding $2$ to each element of $B$. Then the sum of the mean and variance of the elements of $C$ is $.......$.

For $(2n+1)$ observations ${x_1}, -{x_1}, {x_2}, -{x_2}, ....., {x_n}, -{x_n}$ and $0$,where all $x_i$ are distinct,let $S.D.$ and $M.D.$ denote the standard deviation and median respectively. Which of the following is always true?
