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.

 

(a) How many full-owners own under 50 acres? (Enter a whole number only)

(b) How many part-owners own 180 to under 500 acres? (Enter a whole number only)

(c) How many tenants own 180 to under 500 acres? (Enter a whole number only)

### Tenure of Land Operators by Acreage This table provides a detailed classification of land operators based on two criteria: the **tenure of ownership** and the **acreage** of land operated. #### Table Structure: - **Columns:** Represent different tenures of land operators. - **T1:** Full owner - **T2:** Part owner - **T3:** Tenant - **Total:** Sum of all owners and tenants - **Rows:** Represent ranges of land acreage. - **A1:** Under 50 acres - **A2:** 50 to under 180 acres - **A3:** 180 to under 500 acres - **A4:** 500 to under 1000 acres - **A5:** 1000 acres and over - **Total:** Sum of all respective acreages across different tenures #### Detailed Breakdown: | Acreage | Full owner (T1) | Part owner (T2) | Tenant (T3) | Total | |-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-------------|-------| | **Under 50 (A1)** | | 70 | 44 | 114 | | **50 - under 180 (A2)** | 492 | 130 | 38 | 660 | | **180 - under 500 (A3)** | 198 | | | 368 | | **500 - under 1000 (A4)** | 51 | 84 | 14 | 149 | | **1000 & over (A5)** | 41 | 114 | 17 | 172 | | **Total** | 1521 | 541 | 113 | 2175 | #### Interpretation: - The largest number of full owners (T1) falls within the 50 to under 180-acre category (A2) with 492 full owners. - The part owners (T2) are mostly found in the 1000 & over acreage category (A5), with a count of 114. - Tenants (T3) are also mostly in the under 50-acre category (A1), totaling 44. - The total number of land operators is highest in the 50–under 180-acre range (
