\bar X,

then the mean of the observations

{x_i} + 2\;i;i = 1,\;2, \ldots ,n

is The sum of 10 items is 12 and sum of their squares is 18 , then standard deviation will be In a family, there are 8 men, 7 women and 5 children whose mean ages separately are respectively 24,20 and 6 years. The mean age of the family is The mean and variance of seven observations are 8 and 16, respectively. If 5 of the observations are 2, 4, 10, 12, 14, then the product of the remaining two observations is
