Let the total of 15 nos. = N
The mean of 15 nos is 2
So, N/15 = 2
N=30
If 2 is added to each number, the new total becomes 30 + (2*15)= 60
The new mean = 60/15 = 4

New mean will be old mean, increased by the constant that's being added to each value.

Therefore, new mean = 5 + 2, or highlight_green%287%29
