If we add a constant 3 to each observation of a data set, then find the mean:

If we add a constant 3 to each observation of a data set, then find the mean:

Explanation

If we add a constant (such as 3) to each observation of a data set, the mean will be increased by 3


This is because adding the same constant to each data point shifts the entire data set by that constant value, including the mean.
