Let $n \geq 3$. $A$ list of numbers $0 < x_1 < x_2 < \ldots < x_n$ has mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$. $A$ new list of numbers is formed as follows: $y_1=0, y_2=x_2, \ldots, y_{n-1}=x_{n-1}, y_n=x_1+x_n$. The mean and the standard deviation of the new list are $\hat{\mu}$ and $\hat{\sigma}$. Which of the following is necessarily true?
