Let $n \geq 3$. $A$ list of numbers $x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_n$ has mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$. $A$ new list of numbers $y_1, y_2, \ldots, y_n$ is made as follows: $y_1 = \frac{x_1+x_2}{2}$,$y_2 = \frac{x_1+x_2}{2}$ and $y_j = x_j$ for $j = 3, 4, \ldots, n$. The mean and the standard deviation of the new list are $\hat{\mu}$ and $\hat{\sigma}$. Which of the following is necessarily true?

If the sum of the deviations of $50$ observations from $30$ is $50$,then the mean of these observations is:

$x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_n$ are $n$ observations with mean $\bar{x}$ and standard deviation $\sigma$. Match the items of List-$I$ with those of List-$II$:
List-$I$ List-$II$

The mean and variance of $20$ observations are found to be $10$ and $4,$ respectively. On rechecking,it was found that an observation $9$ was incorrect and the correct observation was $11$. Then the correct variance is

The mean and standard deviation of $15$ observations were found to be $12$ and $3$ respectively. On rechecking,it was found that an observation was read as $10$ in place of $12$. If $\mu$ and $\sigma^2$ denote the mean and variance of the correct observations respectively,then $15(\mu+\mu^2+\sigma^2)$ is equal to $...................$
