To find the mean weight, add all the weights together and divide by the total number of apples. The sum of the weights is $0.27 + 0.33 + 0.36 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.31 + 0.33 + 0.28 + 0.30 + 0.36 + 0.34 + 0.30 = 3.68$. Dividing by 12 gives a mean weight of $3.68 / 12 = 0.306666...$, which rounds to $0.307$ lb.
