To determine the mean time for the women who ran the 200m event, you would typically need the individual times of all competitors. The mean is calculated by adding together all the individual race times and then dividing that total by the number of participants.

If option C, which states 22.68 seconds, is the correct answer, it implies that when all the recorded times are summed and averaged, this value is indeed the average, or mean, time. This indicates that the time reflects a central tendency of the data set, providing a representative measure of the performance of the women in this specific event.

In this scenario, if you examine the other options, they are values that could conceivably be times that some participants achieved, but they do not represent the calculated average based on the data available. Therefore, while they are plausible times, they do not carry the same significance as the mean time provided in option C. This helps to confirm that option C reflects the broader performance trend within the group of competitors.
