Let X = {x $$ \in $$ N : 1 $$ \le $$ x $$ \le $$ 17} and
Y = {ax + b: x $$ \in $$ X and a, b $$ \in $$ R, a > 0}. If mean
and variance of elements of Y are 17 and 216
respectively then a + b is equal to :

Let the observations x_i (1 $$ \le $$ i $$ \le $$ 10) satisfy the
equations, $$\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{10} {\left( {{x_1} - 5} \right)} $$ = 10 and $$\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{10} {{{\left( {{x_1} - 5} \right)}^2}} $$ = 40.
If $$\mu $$ and $$\lambda $$ are the mean and the variance of the
observations, x₁ – 3, x₂ – 3, ...., x₁₀ – 3, then
the ordered pair ($$\mu $$, $$\lambda $$) is equal to :

The mean and variance of 20 observations are found to be 10 and 4, respectively. On rechecking, it was found that an observation 9 was incorrect and the correct observation was 11. Then the correct variance is

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