Let n>3n > 3. A list of numbers 0<x1<x2<<xn0 < x_1 < x_2 < \cdots < x_n has mean μ\mu and standard deviation σ\sigma. A new list is made as follows: y1=0y_1 = 0, y2=x2,,yn1=xn1y_2 = x_2, \ldots, y_{n-1} = x_{n-1}, yn=x1+xny_n = x_1 + x_n. The mean and the standard deviation of the new list are μ^\hat{\mu} and σ^\hat{\sigma}. Which of the following is necessarily true?
