To determine the weights that fall within the acceptable range, we need to find the lower and upper limits of the range.
Lower limit = 250 - (2.875% of 250)
= 250 - (2.875/100 * 250)
= 250 - 7.1875
= 242.8125 pounds
Upper limit = 250 + (2.875% of 250)
= 250 + (2.875/100 * 250)
= 250 + 7.1875
= 257.1875 pounds
Therefore, any weight between 242.8125 pounds and 257.1875 pounds (inclusive) falls within the acceptable range.
