The formula you provided for the mean is:

\[
\text{Mean} = \frac{\sum x}{n}
\]

Where:
- \(\sum x\) is the sum of all the data points (ages in this case).
- \(n\) is the number of data points.

Given the ages: 41, 20, 31, 32, 34, 26, 23, 24, 23, 31, 24

Let's apply the formula step by step:

1. **Sum of the ages** (\(\sum x\)):
   \[
   \sum x = 41 + 20 + 31 + 32 + 34 + 26 + 23 + 24 + 23 + 31 + 24 = 309
   \]

2. **Number of players** (\(n\)):
   \[
   n = 11
   \]

3. **Mean**:
   \[
   \text{Mean} = \frac{309}{11} \approx 28.09
   \]

So, the mean age using the formula is **28.09 years**.
