To find the mean (average) weight of the nine football players, follow these steps:
1. List the weights of the nine football players:
[tex]\[
226, 183, 195, 274, 200, 258, 195, 237, 212
\][/tex]
2. Calculate the sum of these weights:
[tex]\[
226 + 183 + 195 + 274 + 200 + 258 + 195 + 237 + 212
\][/tex]
3. Determine the number of players:
[tex]\[
9
\][/tex]
4. Divide the sum of the weights by the number of players to find the mean:
[tex]\[
\text{Mean} = \frac{\text{Total Sum of Weights}}{\text{Number of Players}} = \frac{1980}{9}
\][/tex]
Based on the calculations, the mean weight of the football players is:
[tex]\[
220.0
\][/tex]
