$A$ 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?

For the following frequency distribution,the variance is approximately equal to
Class Interval$0$-$5$$5$-$10$$10$-$15$$15$-$20$$20$-$25$
Frequency$4$$1$$10$$3$$2$

Let $\mu$ be the mean and $\sigma$ be the standard deviation of the distribution:
$X_i$$0$$1$$2$$3$$4$$5$
$f_i$$k+2$$2k$$k^2-1$$k^2-1$$k^2-1$$k-3$
where $\sum f_i=62$. If $[x]$ denotes the greatest integer $\leq x$,then $[\mu^2+\sigma^2]$ is equal to:

The variance for the first six prime numbers greater than $5$ is

Statement-$1$: The variance of the first $n$ even natural numbers is $\frac{n^2 - 1}{4}$.
Statement-$2$: The sum of the first $n$ natural numbers is $\frac{n(n + 1)}{2}$ and the sum of the squares of the first $n$ natural numbers is $\frac{n(n + 1)(2n + 1)}{6}$.
