The mean vitamin C level for 20 dogs was 7.6 milligrams per liter, with a standard deviation of 2.1 milligrams per liter.

One dog’s vitamin C level was not in the normal range. It was 0.9 milligrams per liter, which is a very low level of vitamin C.

If the value 0.9 is eliminated from the data set, does the mean increase or decrease?

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.
