The mean is calculated by taking the sum of the values and dividing by the count.
For instance, for the 6 women, with the mean being 31, we can see that the ages summed to 186:
186 6 = 31
And we can do the same for the men:
116 4 = 29
And now we can combine the sum and count of the men and women to find the mean for the office:
186 + 116 10 = 302 10 = 30.2
