A group of 10 married couples and 3 single men found that the mean age \(\bar{x}_w\) of the 10 women was 41.2 years and the standard deviation of the women’s ages was 15.1 years. For the 13 men, the mean age \(\bar{x}_m\) was 46.3 years and the standard deviation was 12.7 years.

(i) Find the mean age of the whole group of 23 people.

(ii) The individual women’s ages are denoted by \(x_w\) and the individual men’s ages by \(x_m\). By first finding \(\Sigma x_w^2\) and \(\Sigma x_m^2\), find the standard deviation for the whole group.
