Answer: The mean increases.
Step-by-step explanation:
The value of 0.9 mg/L is very low compared to a means of 7.6 mg/L with a standard deviation of 2.1 mg/L. It seems as though it is an outlier that is suffiently different from the others, and probably should be dropped from the data set. That would do 2 things: 1) the stabdard deviation will likely decrease, indicating a more confident data set, and 2) the mean vitamin C level will increase.
Here is the correct answer.
4x + 108 = 144(equation)
-108 -108 (Subtract 108 both sides)
4x = 36 (simplify)
/4 /4 (divide by 4)
x = 9 (Answer)
