The standard deviation of the following distribution is:
$C$.$I$.$0$ - $6$$6$ - $12$$12$ - $18$
f_i$2$$4$$6$

For a frequency distribution,the standard deviation is computed by applying the formula:

The mean and standard deviation of $10$ observations are $20$ and $2$ respectively. Later on,it was observed that one observation was recorded as $50$ instead of $40$. Then the correct variance is:

The variance of $50$ observations is $7$. Suppose that each observation in this data is multiplied by $6$ and then $5$ is subtracted from it. Then the variance of that new data is

For a set of $50$ observations,the sum of their squares is $3050$ and their arithmetic mean is $6$. Find the standard deviation of these observations.
