Question

The U.S. Department of Agriculture publishes information about U.S. farms in Census of Agriculture. A joint frequency distribution for number of farms, by acreage and tenure of operator, is provided in the following contingency table. Frequencies are in thousands.

(d) How many farms are under 50 acres in size? (Enter a whole number only)

(e) How many farm operators are tenants? (Enter a whole number only)

(f) How many farms are represented in the table? (Enter a whole number only)

### Distribution of Farm Operators by Tenure and Acreage

This table presents the distribution of farm operators based on their tenure and the size of the acreage they manage. The data is categorized into three types of tenure: Full Owner (T1), Part Owner (T2), and Tenant (T3). The acreage is divided into five categories: below 50 acres (A1), 50 to below 180 acres (A2), 180 to below 500 acres (A3), 500 to below 1000 acres (A4), and 1000 acres and above (A5).

#### Acreage and Tenure Distribution

- **Under 50 Acres (A1)**
  - Full Owners (T1): 
  - Part Owners (T2): 70
  - Tenants (T3): 44
  - **Total**: 70 + 44 = 114

- **50 to Under 180 Acres (A2)**
  - Full Owners (T1): 492
  - Part Owners (T2): 130
  - Tenants (T3): 38
  - **Total**: 492 + 130 + 38 = 660

- **180 to Under 500 Acres (A3)**
  - Full Owners (T1): 198
  - Part Owners (T2): 
  - Tenants (T3): 
  - **Total**: 198

- **500 to Under 1000 Acres (A4)**
  - Full Owners (T1): 51
  - Part Owners (T2): 84
  - Tenants (T3): 14
  - **Total**: 51 + 84 + 14 = 149

- **1000 Acres and Over (A5)**
  - Full Owners (T1): 41
  - Part Owners (T2): 114
  - Tenants (T3): 17
  - **Total**: 41 + 114 + 17 = 172

#### Totals by Tenure

- **Full Owners (T1)**: 1521
- **Part Owners (T2)**: 541
- **Tenants (T3)**: 113
- **Overall Total**: 1521 + 541 + 113 = 2160
