Answer: 311 pounds

Explanation:

To find the average, add up all of the values and divide by the amount of values.

First add up all of the values.

322+290+321+326+330+315+311+292+290 = 2797

Now count how many values there are and divide your previous sum by it.

2797/9 = 310.78

Because you need to have 3 sig figs, round to the nearest one.

310.78 rounds up to 311.
