If $\sum_{i=1}^{18} (x_i - 8) = 9$ and $\sum_{i=1}^{18} (x_i - 8)^2 = 45$,find the standard deviation of $x_1, x_2, \dots, x_{18}$.

Let in a series of $2n$ observations,half of them are equal to $a$ and the remaining half are equal to $-a$. Also,by adding a constant $b$ to each of these observations,the mean and standard deviation of the new set become $5$ and $20$,respectively. Then the value of $a^{2} + b^{2}$ is equal to ....... .

The standard deviation of the first $n$ odd natural numbers is ..........

The arithmetic mean and standard deviation of a data set of nine numbers are $13$ and $5$ respectively. If $3$ is included as the $10^{th}$ item of the data,then the variance of the data set of ten numbers is:

Let $\mu$ be the mean and $\sigma$ be the standard deviation of the distribution:

$X_i$	$0$	$1$	$2$	$3$	$4$	$5$
$f_i$	$k+2$	$2k$	$k^2-1$	$k^2-1$	$k^2-1$	$k-3$

where $\sum f_i=62$. If $[x]$ denotes the greatest integer $\leq x$,then $[\mu^2+\sigma^2]$ is equal to:

Let $x_1, x_2, \dots, x_{100}$ be $100$ observations such that $\sum x_i = 0$,$\sum_{1 \le i < j \le 100} |x_i x_j| = 80000$,and the mean deviation from their mean is $5$. Then their standard deviation is:
