What is being measured?
Chosen midpoint of the extension guide's recommended 5–8 in slicing-cucumber harvest length. This describes a harvest-size reference, not the average size of every cultivar or fully mature cucumber.
The comparison uses the midpoint of the stated range. That midpoint is a chosen reference, not a measured population mean.
