The mean series of individual observation is 12 . If each observation is increased by 1 , then the value of the new mean:
a ) increased by 1
b ) decreased by 1
c ) remains same

Let x1, x2, x3, ......., xn be the given observations.   Mean of n observations = 12x1 + x2 + x3 + .......+xnn = 12    .....1When each observation is increased by 1, then new mean is,New mean = x1+1 + x2+1 + x3+1 + .......+xn+1nNew mean = x1 + x2 + x3 + .......+xnn + 1 + 1 + ........+1 n timesnNew mean = 12 + nn = 12 + 1 = 13So, when each observation is increased by 1, then new mean also increases by 1.
