Consider the statistics of two sets of observations as follows:
Set Size Mean Variance
Observation $I$ $10$ $2$ $2$
Observation $II$ $n$ $3$ $1$

If the variance of the combined set of these two observations is $\frac{17}{9}$,then the value of $n$ is equal to:

If the mean and variance of the frequency distribution are $9$ and $15.08$ respectively,then the value of $\alpha^2+\beta^2-\alpha \beta$ is $............$.
$x_i$ $2$ $4$ $6$ $8$ $10$ $12$ $14$ $16$
$f_i$ $4$ $4$ $\alpha$ $15$ $8$ $\beta$ $4$ $5$

The mean and variance of eight observations are $9$ and $9.25,$ respectively. If six of the observations are $6, 7, 10, 12, 12,$ and $13,$ find the remaining two observations.

There are $60$ students in a class. The following is the frequency distribution of the marks obtained by the students in a test:
$\begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|} \hline \text{Marks} & 0 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 \\ \hline \text{Frequency} & x-2 & x & x^2 & (x+1)^2 & 2x & x+1 \\ \hline \end{array}$
where $x$ is a positive integer. Determine the mean and standard deviation of the marks.
