Answer:

The mean, or average, will increase.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the mean is simply the average of a group of numbers a 41 inch fish would make the mean, or average, larger.  

14.2 + 41 = 55.2

55.2 / 2 = 27.6

The new mean is 27.6 inches.

The mean will be greater than 14.2inch.apex
