Let $X_{1}, X_{2}, \ldots, X_{18}$ be eighteen observations such that $\sum_{i=1}^{18}(X_{i}-\alpha)=36$ and $\sum_{i=1}^{18}(X_{i}-\beta)^{2}=90$,where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are distinct real numbers. If the standard deviation of these observations is $1$,then the value of $|\alpha-\beta|$ is ...... .

$A$ scientist weighs $30$ fish. Their mean weight is $30 \text{ g}$ and the standard deviation is $2 \text{ g}$. Later,it is discovered that the weighing scale was not calibrated correctly and every fish's weight was recorded $2 \text{ g}$ less than the actual weight. What are the correct mean and standard deviation (in grams) of the fish weights,respectively?
