In a series of $2n$ observations,half of them are equal to $a$ and the remaining half are equal to $-a$. If the standard deviation of these observations is $2$,then $|a|$ equals:

  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $\sqrt{2}$
  • C
    $4$
  • D
    $2\sqrt{2}$

For a data consisting of $15$ observations $x_i$,$i=1, 2, 3, \ldots, 15$,the following results are obtained: $\sum_{i=1}^{15} x_i = 170$ and $\sum_{i=1}^{15} x_i^2 = 2830$. If one of the observations,namely $20$,was found to be wrong and was replaced by its correct value $30$,then the corrected variance is:
