Hi,
The closer the items(to the mean) we add to the list, the more the standard deviation decreases. Here 6 and 6 are the closest to the mean.

Hence, E
Cheers!

Standard deviation is lowest when data points are close to the mean. Therefore when adding new data, the closer the new data is to the previous mean the lower the new standard deviation will be.

The answer is E. This is because by adding new data identical to the mean, the overall 102 data list becomes more condensed (thus decreasing the standard deviation).
