The mean and variance of six observations are $8$ and $16$ respectively. If each observation is multiplied by $3$,then the new variance of the resulting observations is:

For a frequency distribution,the standard deviation is computed by applying the formula:

Let $x_1, x_2, \dots, x_{100}$ be $100$ observations such that $\sum x_i = 0$,$\sum_{1 \le i < j \le 100} |x_i x_j| = 80000$,and the mean deviation from their mean is $5$. Then their standard deviation is:

The mean of $100$ observations is $50$ and their standard deviation is $5$. Then,the sum of the squares of all the observations is:
