What is being measured?
Chosen midpoint of the guide's 2–6 in length range for carambola fruit. The reference runs along the fruit's length, not across its star-shaped cross-section; it is not a measured mean.
The comparison uses the midpoint of the stated range. That midpoint is a chosen reference, not a measured population mean.
