Answer:
7.25 ounces
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of weights is the mean weight times the number of apples.
sum of 9 = 7.5×9 = 67.5 . . . ounces
sum of 3 = 8×3 = 24 . . . ounces
Then the sum of the weights of the remaining 6 is ...
67.5 -24 = 43.5 . . . ounces
The mean weight of those 6 is ...
(total weight of 6)/6 = mean weight of 6
(43.5 oz)/(6) = 7.25 oz
The mean weight of the other 6 is 7.25 oz.
_____
Additional comment
If some have an average weight that is greater than the mean of all, the remaining must have an average weight that is less than the mean of all.
