The mean of the numbers $a, b, 8, 5, 10$ is $6$ and their variance is $6.8$. If $M$ is the mean deviation of the numbers about the mean,then $25M$ is equal to

An anti-aircraft gun takes a maximum of four shots at an enemy plane moving away from it. The probabilities of hitting the plane at the first,second,third,and fourth shot are $0.4, 0.3, 0.2$,and $0.1$ respectively. The probability that the gun hits the plane is

$x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_n$ are $n$ observations with mean $\bar{x}$ and standard deviation $\sigma$. Match the items of List-$I$ with those of List-$II$:

List-$I$	List-$II$
$(a) \sum_{i=1}^n(x_i-\bar{x})$	$(i) \text{ Median}$
$(b) \text{ Variance } (\sigma^2)$	$(ii) \text{ Coefficient of variation}$
$(c) \text{ Mean deviation}$	$(iii) \text{ Zero}$
$(d) \text{ Measure used to find the homogeneity of given two series}$	$(iv) \text{ Mean of the absolute deviations from any measure of central tendency}$
	$(v) \text{ Mean of the squares of the deviations from mean}$

Consider the following statements:
$(1)$ Mode can be computed from a histogram.
$(2)$ Median is not independent of change of scale.
$(3)$ Variance is independent of change of origin and scale.
Which of these is/are correct?

In a set of $2n$ distinct observations,each of the observations below the median is increased by $5$ and each of the remaining observations is decreased by $3$. Then the mean of the new set of observations

The mean and the standard deviation of $10$ observations are $20$ and $2$ respectively. Each of these $10$ observations is multiplied by $p$ and then reduced by $q$,where $p \neq 0$ and $q \neq 0$. If the new mean and new standard deviation (s.d.) become half of the original values,then $q$ is equal to
