Let the observations $x_{i} (1 \leq i \leq 10)$ satisfy the equations $\sum_{i=1}^{10}(x_{i}-5)=10$ and $\sum_{i=1}^{10}(x_{i}-5)^{2}=40$. If $\mu$ and $\lambda$ are the mean and the variance of the observations $x_{1}-3, x_{2}-3, \dots, x_{10}-3$,then the ordered pair $(\mu, \lambda)$ is equal to:
