What is being measured?
Chosen midpoint of the recommended 6–8 in harvest length for elongated summer squash such as zucchini. This excludes pattypan and crooked-neck sizing and is not the plant's maximum fruit size.
The comparison uses the midpoint of the stated range. That midpoint is a chosen reference, not a measured population mean.
