[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find the mean weight of the 9-person team, we first need to find the total weight of all 9 players combined.

For the 3 outfielders:
Mean weight = 200 lb
Total weight of outfielders = 3 players * 200 lb/player = 600 lb

For the 6 other players:
Mean weight = 226 lb
Total weight of other players = 6 players * 226 lb/player = 1356 lb

Total weight of the 9-person team = Total weight of outfielders + Total weight of other players
Total weight of the 9-person team = 600 lb + 1356 lb = 1956 lb

Now, we can find the mean weight of the 9-person team by dividing the total weight by the total number of players:
Mean weight of the 9-person team = Total weight / Total number of players
Mean weight of the 9-person team = 1956 lb / 9 players = 217.33 lb

Therefore, the mean weight of the 9-person team is 217.33 lb.
