Let $\mathrm{n}$ be an odd natural number such that the variance of $1,2,3,4, \ldots, \mathrm{n}$ is $14 .$ Then $\mathrm{n}$ is equal to ..... .
$12$
$13$
$23$
$26$
In a series of $2n$ observations, half of them equal to $a$ and remaining half equal to $-a$. If the standard deviation of the observations is $2$, then $|a|$ equals
The $S.D.$ of $5$ scores $1, 2, 3, 4, 5$ is
Let $n \geq 3$. A list of numbers $x_1, x, \ldots, x_n$ has mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$. A new list of numbers $y_1, y_2, \ldots, y_n$ is made as follows $y_1=\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, y_2=\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}$ and $y_j=x_j$ for $j=3,4, \ldots, n$.
The mean and the standard deviation of the new list are $\hat{\mu}$ and $\hat{\sigma}$. Then, which of the following is necessarily true?
From a lot of $12$ items containing $3$ defectives, a sample of $5$ items is drawn at random. Let the random variable $\mathrm{X}$ denote the number of defective items in the sample. Let items in the sample be drawn one by one without replacement. If variance of $X$ is $\frac{m}{n}$, where $\operatorname{gcd}(m, n)=1$, then $n-m$ is equal to..........
