Find variance from 2 variances of 2 datasets with difference sizes
In an attempt to find the mean number of hours his tutorial classmates spent per day preparing for tutorials, John collected data from 10 of his friends in the tutorial group and found that the mean is 2.4 hours with a standard deviation of 0.8 hours. However, a day later he felt that the sample size is too small. So he collected data from another 5 of his friends and found that the mean is 2.0 hours with a standard deviation of 1.2 hours. Find the mean and standard deviation when these 2 sets of data are combined.
Please help, thank you
