You add all of the numbers first (2797)

Then you divide by how many numbers there were (9)

You get 310.7778

Then you round with 3 sig figs.

That is 311

Hope this helps:D

Answer 2

311 pounds

Explanation:

Here, we are to calculate the average weight of the upper-class men offensive players

To calculate this, we need to sum up all the weights and divide by their count

Mathematically, that would be;

Average weight = (322+290+321+326+330+315+311+292+290)/9 = 2,797/9 = 310.77778

Now this written in 3 significant figures would be 311 pounds
