Find the least positive value of $k$,if the range of $15, 14, k, 25, 30, 35$ is $23$.

The mean and variance of $7$ observations are $8$ and $16$ respectively. If the first five observations are $2, 4, 10, 12, 14$,then the absolute difference of the remaining two observations is

The expenditure of a family for a certain month were as follows:
Food - Rs. $560$,Rent - Rs. $420$,Clothes - Rs. $180$,Education - Rs. $160$,Other items - Rs. $120$
$A$ pie graph representing this data would show the expenditure for clothes by a sector whose angle equals......$^o$

The mean and variance of the observations $x_1, x_2, x_3, \ldots, x_{15}$ are respectively $2$ and $4$. If the mean and variance of the observations $y_1, y_2, \ldots, y_{10}$ are respectively $2$ and $5$,then the variance of the combined observations $x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_{15}, y_1, y_2, \ldots, y_{10}$ is

Let $\bar{x}, M$ and $\sigma^2$ be respectively the mean,mode and variance of $n$ observations $x_1, x_2, ..., x_n$ and $d_i = -x_i - a, i = 1, 2, ..., n$,where $a$ is any number. Statement $I$: Variance of $d_1, d_2, ..., d_n$ is $\sigma^2$. Statement $II$: Mean and mode of $d_1, d_2, ..., d_n$ are $-\bar{x} - a$ and $-M - a$,respectively.

The mean and the standard deviation of $10$ observations are $20$ and $2$ respectively. Each of these $10$ observations is multiplied by $p$ and then reduced by $q$,where $p \neq 0$ and $q \neq 0$. If the new mean and new standard deviation (s.d.) become half of the original values,then $q$ is equal to
