What happens to the mean of the data set shown below if the number 20 is added to the data set? A. The mean increases by 0.75.
B. The mean does not change.
C. The mean increases by 12.
D. The mean increases by 0.25.

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

NB: The data used was assumed since we are not given any data in question
