  • Part (a)

    In words, define the random variable X.
    the number of square feet of a U.S. farmthe number of U.S. farms    the number of animals on a U.S. farmthe number of acres of a U.S. farm
  • Part (b)

    In words, define the random variable 
    X.
    the average number of acres of a farm in the sample of 41 farmersthe average number of square feet of a farm in the sample of 41 farmers    the average number of farms in each state in the United Statesthe average number of animals on a U.S. farm
  • Part (c)

    Give the distribution of 
    X.
     (Round your standard deviation to two decimal places.)
    X

      ,  
     
  • Part (d)

    The middle 50% of the distribution for 
    X,
     the bounds of which form the distance represented by the IQR, lies between what two values? (Round your answers to two decimal places.)
