Answer:

C. The mean increases by 0.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean of a data set is given by the sum of all its values, divided by the number of values.

Data set {10, 2, 8, 9, 5, 2, 6}

7 values

Sum: 10 + 2 + 8 + 9 + 5 + 2 + 6 = 42

Mean: 42/7 = 6

Adding number 12 to the data set

Now we have 8 values

The sum is 42 + 12 = 54

The mean is 54/8 = 6.75

This means that the mean increases by 0.75.
