The arithmetic mean of the observations $10, 8, 5, a, b$ is $6$ and their variance is $6.8$. Then $ab$ is equal to:

If each of the observations $x_{1}, x_{2}, \ldots, x_{n}$ is increased by $a$,where $a$ is a positive or negative number,show that the variance remains unchanged.

The mean and variance of a set of $15$ numbers are $12$ and $14$ respectively. The mean and variance of another set of $15$ numbers are $14$ and $\sigma^2$ respectively. If the variance of all the $30$ numbers in the two sets is $13$,then $\sigma^2$ is equal to $.........$.

Calculate the mean,variance,and standard deviation for the following distribution:

Class	$30-40$	$40-50$	$50-60$	$60-70$	$70-80$	$80-90$	$90-100$
$f_i$	$3$	$7$	$12$	$15$	$8$	$3$	$2$

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 $\frac{n(4n^2 - 1)}{3}$.

If for a distribution $\Sigma(x-5)=3$,$\Sigma(x-5)^{2}=43$ and the total number of items is $18$,find the mean and standard deviation.
