If the mean weight of 3 outfieldersnbspon the baseball team is 195 lb and the mean weight of the 6 other players is 229 ​lb, what is the mean weight of the 9​-person​ team?

1 answer

To find the mean weight of the 9-person team, we need to find the total weight of all 9 players and then divide by 9.

Total weight of 3 outfielders: 3 players * 195 lb = 585 lb
Total weight of 6 other players: 6 players * 229 lb = 1374 lb

Total weight of the 9-person team: 585 lb + 1374 lb = 1959 lb

Mean weight of the 9-person team: 1959 lb / 9 players = 217 lb

Therefore, the mean weight of the 9-person team is 217 lb.
