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