Answer:

The mean will increase by 2.5

Explanation:

The mean is just another word for the average of the data set. You can find this by adding all of the values and dividing by the number of values there are. (i.e 2+4+7+6+3+6+7 divided by 7). The original mean is 5. If you add 25, the average will increase to 7.5
