Question
In 1940 the average size of a U.S. farm was 174 acres. Let's say that the standard deviation was 57 acres. Suppose we randomly survey 39 farmers from 1940.
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.)
acres | (smaller value) |
acres |
