The standard deviation of $7$ observations $1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7$ is:

If the mean and variance of five observations are $\frac{24}{5}$ and $\frac{194}{25}$ respectively,and the mean of the first four observations is $\frac{7}{2}$,then the variance of the first four observations is equal to:

Statement-$1$: The variance of the first $n$ even natural numbers is $\frac{n^2 - 1}{3}$.
Statement-$2$: The sum of the first $n$ odd natural numbers is $n^2$ and the sum of the squares of the first $n$ odd natural numbers is $\frac{n(4n^2 - 1)}{3}$.

The mean and standard deviation of some data for the time taken to complete a test are calculated with the following results:
Number of observations $= 25$,mean $= 18.2 \text{ seconds}$,standard deviation $= 3.25 \text{ s}$.
Further,another set of $15$ observations $x_{1}, x_{2}, \ldots, x_{15}$,also in seconds,is now available and we have $\sum_{i=1}^{15} x_{i} = 279$ and $\sum_{i=1}^{15} x_{i}^{2} = 5524$. Calculate the standard deviation based on all $40$ observations.
