    Without knowing the ages of all the different members of the club, I believe that the mean would go down due to 24 being an outlier. You generally take the mean by adding up all the numbers and dividing by all the # of given values. Outliers such as 24 would skew the results leaning none way or the other, in this case making it lower than the previous mean.
