Answer:
20
Step-by-step explanation:
The mean score for the women = 15.6
Sum of score for the women = 15.6*10 = 156
The mean score for the children = 9.2
Sum of score for the children = 9.2 * 10 = 92
The mean score for all 40 people = 11.2
Sum of the score of 40 people = 11.2 *40 = 448
Sum of the score for 20 men = 448 – 92 – 156 = 200
Mean of the score for the men = 200÷ 20 =20
