$A$ set of four observations has mean $1$ and variance $13$. Another set of six observations has mean $2$ and variance $1$. Then, the variance of all these $10$ observations is equal to:

The coefficients of variation of two distributions are $60$ and $70$. The standard deviations are $21$ and $16$ respectively. Find their means.

If the sum of squares of the deviations from the mean of the data $x_i, (i=1, 2, \ldots, n)$ is $n\bar{x}^2$,where $\bar{x}$ is the mean of $x_i$'s,then the sum of squares of $x_i$'s is

The mean and standard deviation of a set of $n_{1}$ observations are $\bar{x}_{1}$ and $s_{1},$ respectively,while the mean and standard deviation of another set of $n_{2}$ observations are $\bar{x}_{2}$ and $s_{2},$ respectively. Show that the standard deviation of the combined set of $(n_{1}+n_{2})$ observations is given by $SD = \sqrt{\frac{n_{1}(s_{1})^{2}+n_{2}(s_{2})^{2}}{n_{1}+n_{2}}+\frac{n_{1} n_{2}(\bar{x}_{1}-\bar{x}_{2})^{2}}{(n_{1}+n_{2})^{2}}}$.
