adding a 14 to that set (which is bigger than all of the others) MUST increase the mean, i'll prove it here:

Answer 8

Without 14 : (4+4-6-2+1+1)/6 = 1/3, or about 0.33333
With 14: (4+4-6-2+1+1+14)/7 = 16/7, or about 2.29
their difference is about 1.9, with the addition of 19 INCREASING the original mean
