Answer:

The new mean should be 23.

Explanation:

The mean of a group of numbers is the average.

We can find the average of a group of numbers by adding them all together and then dividing the final sum by the amount of numbers in the list.

All the numbers added together totaled to 161, and 161 divided by 7 equals 23.

Hope this helps!
