We have a sample of 9254 participants, 4557 men and 4697 women. The mean age of the sample is 34.33 years; men mean age is 34.12 (Variance= 663.063). The Variance in the women's group is 637.5625. Can you calculate women mean age? If so, is there a statistically significant difference between men and women mean age?

Expert Solution

total sum =9254*34.33 =317689.82

total of male =4557*34.12 =155484.84

so, mean of female = (317689.82 -155484.84)/4697

=34.53
