The mean and the standard deviation of a data set of $8$ items are $25$ and $5$ respectively. If two items $15$ and $25$ are added to this data,then the variance of the new data is:

The diameters of circles (in mm) drawn in a design are given below:
Diameters $33-36$ $37-40$ $41-44$ $45-48$ $49-52$
No. of circles $15$ $17$ $21$ $22$ $25$

Calculate the standard deviation and mean diameter of the circles.
[ Hint : First make the data continuous by making the classes as $32.5-36.5, 36.5-40.5, 40.5-44.5, 44.5-48.5, 48.5-52.5$ and then proceed.] (in $\text{ mm}$)

If each observation of a distribution with standard deviation $\sigma$ is increased by $\lambda$,find the variance of the new observations.
