Answer:
This shows that the mean increases by 2.95
Step-by-step explanation:
Assume the given data is 2, 5, 6, 8
Mean = 2 +5+6+8/4
Mean = 21/4
Mean = 5.25
If number 20 is added, the data becomes 2, 5, 6, 8, 20
New mean = 2 +5+6+8+20/4
New mean = 41/5
New mean = 8.2
Taking the difference in the mean:
Difference = 8.2 - 5.25
Difference = 2.95
This shows that the mean increases by 2.95
