If the standard deviation of these observations is $1$,then the value of $|\alpha-\beta|$ is ...... .

The standard deviations of two sets of observations $X=\{x_i\}$ and $Y=\{y_i\}$ $(i=1, 2, \ldots, 100)$ are respectively $5$ and $6$. If $\bar{x}, \bar{y}$ are their means and $\sum_{i=1}^{100}(x_i-\bar{x})(y_i-\bar{y})=600$,then the standard deviation of $Z=\{z_i \mid z_i=x_i-y_i\}$ is

In a distribution of $10$ observations,the sum of the observations is $60$ and the sum of their squares is $1000$. Then,the variance is:

The mean of $100$ observations is $50$ and their standard deviation is $5$. Then,the sum of squares of all observations is
