The standard deviation and mean of five observations are $0$ and $9$ respectively. If one of the observations is changed such that the mean of the new set of five observations becomes $10$,then their standard deviation is

Let $a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_{10}$ be $10$ observations such that $\sum_{k=1}^{10} a_k = 50$ and $\sum_{k < j} a_k a_j = 1100$. Then the standard deviation of $a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_{10}$ is equal to:

Let $x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_{10}$ be ten observations such that $\sum_{i=1}^{10}(x_i-2)=30$,$\sum_{i=1}^{10}(x_i-\beta)^2=98$,$\beta > 2$ and their variance is $\frac{4}{5}$. If $\mu$ and $\sigma^2$ are respectively the mean and the variance of $2(x_1-1)+4\beta, 2(x_2-1)+4\beta, \ldots, 2(x_{10}-1)+4\beta$,then $\frac{\beta\mu}{\sigma^2}$ is equal to:
