Every number in a data set is increased by 77. Let xˉ,σx\bar{x},\sigma_x be the original mean and standard deviation, and yˉ,σy\bar{y},\sigma_y be the new ones. Which statement is always true? a) yˉ=xˉ+7\bar{y}=\bar{x}+7 and σy=σx+7\sigma_y=\sigma_x+7 b) yˉ=xˉ\bar{y}=\bar{x} and σy=σx\sigma_y=\sigma_x c) yˉ=xˉ+7\bar{y}=\bar{x}+7 and σy=σx\sigma_y=\sigma_x d) yˉ=xˉ+7\bar{y}=\bar{x}+7 and σy=7σx\sigma_y=7\sigma_x
