Question:
medium
The variance of 20 observations is 5. If each observation is multiplied by 2, then variance of resulting observations is
Show Hint
Statistics Tip: If $Y = aX + b$, then $Var(Y) = a^2 \times Var(X)$.The addition or subtraction of a constant does not affect the variance.

From a lot of 12 items containing 3 defectives, a sample of 5 items is drawn at random. Let the random variable $X$ denote the number of defective items in the sample. Let items in the sample be drawn one by one without replacement. If the variance of $X$ is $\frac{m}{n}$, where $\gcd(m, n) = 1$, then $n - m$ is equal to ________.
