Mean and standard deviation of 100 items are 50 and 4 respectively

We have to find the sum of all items and the sum of the squares of the items.

As per the question, number of items n =100

\\ \text{Mean of the given items, }\overline{x}=50~ \text{But we know}, \overline{x}=\frac{ \Sigma x_{i}}{n}~~ \\\\ \\ \text{Substituting the corresponding values we get} 50= \frac{ \Sigma x_{i}}{100}~~~~~ \Sigma x_{i}=50\ast100=5000 \\\\ \\ \text{Hence,~the sum of all the 100 items}=5000 \\\\ \\ \text{Also given that the standard deviation of the 100 items is 4} \\\\ \\ ~~ \sigma =4 \\\\


\\ \text{ But we know that } \\\\ \\ \sqrt {\frac{ \Sigma x_{i}^{2}}{n}- \left( \frac{ \Sigma x_{i}}{n} \right) ^{2}}~~~ \\\\ \\ \text{Substituting the corresponding values, we get} 4= \sqrt {\frac{ \Sigma x_{i}^{2}}{100}- \left( \frac{5000}{100} \right) ^{2}} \\\\ \\ \text{~~Now taking square on both sides, we get }4^{2}=\frac{ \Sigma x_{i}^{2}}{100}- \left( 50 \right) ^{2}~~~ \\\\
\\ ~ 16=\frac{ \Sigma x_{i}^{2}}{100}-2500~ \\\\ \\ ~~ 16+2500=\frac{ \Sigma x_{i}^{2}}{100}~~ \\\\ \\ ~~\frac{ \Sigma x_{i}^{2}}{100}=2516 \\\\ \\ ~ \Sigma x_{i}^{2}=2516\ast100=251600 \\\\
