Question

Please help this is hard for me !The mean age of 12 women in an office is 22 years old.

The mean age of 3 men in an office is 24 years old.

What is the mean age (nearest year) of all the people in the office?

Answer 1

wouldn’t it be 23? Such as woman are 22 and men are 24 the only thing between the age is 23 .

Answer 2

22

Explanation:

first find the total age of the women in the office which is 12 X 22 = 264. then find the total age of men in their office which is 24 X 3 = 72. add those numbers together to get 336 ( total people in both offices). to find the mean of that, divide 336 by 15 to get 22.4 and that rounded to the nearest year is 22.
