Let the mean and the variance of 20 observations $$x_{1}, x_{2}, \ldots, x_{20}$$ be 15 and 9 , respectively. For $$\alpha \in \mathbf{R}$$, if the mean of $$\left(x_{1}+\alpha\right)^{2},\left(x_{2}+\alpha\right)^{2}, \ldots,\left(x_{20}+\alpha\right)^{2}$$ is 178 , then the square of the maximum value of $$\alpha$$ is equal to ________.

Let $$x_{1}, x_{2}, x_{3}, \ldots, x_{20}$$ be in geometric progression with $$x_{1}=3$$ and the common ratio $$\frac{1}{2}$$. A new data is constructed replacing each $$x_{i}$$ by $$\left(x_{i}-i\right)^{2}$$. If $$\bar{x}$$ is the mean of new data, then the greatest integer less than or equal to $$\bar{x}$$ is ____________.

The mean and variance of 10 observations were calculated as 15 and 15 respectively by a student who took by mistake 25 instead of 15 for one observation. Then, the correct standard deviation is _____________.

The mean and standard deviation of 40 observations are 30 and 5 respectively. It was noticed that two of these observations 12 and 10 were wrongly recorded. If $$\sigma$$ is the standard deviation of the data after omitting the two wrong observations from the data, then $$38 \sigma^{2}$$ is equal to ___________.
