Weather for NearSys Station, October 2018

Here are the charts I created from the meteorological conditions measured at NearSys Station this continued

The ground temperature continued to decrease.

We're still dry. This month we only received one inch of rain over three rainy days.

During the middle of the month we were visited with a high pressure system.

The month didn't really get drier like I hoped.

The temperature continues to fall, except for a blip during the third week.

The Statistics of Black Beans

Black Bean Pod from my Garden

After I harvested the black beans from my garden, I thought it would be interesting to do a little statistical analysis with them.

I grew a total of six bean plants, picked 157 bean pods, and collected 525 beans. Their weight was 3.7 ounces and the volume 1/2 cups. This means black bean plants on average produced 26.16 pods each and 95.83 beans each. On average weigh, each bean weighs 0.18 grams.

The minimum number of beans per pod was zero and the maximum was seven. But not all possible numbers of beans per pod showed up equally.

The mean number (the average) of beans per pod pod was 3.66. The median number (the number appearing in the middle when the numbers are sorted in numerical order) was four. The mode (the number of beans of beans per pod appearing most often) was five.

So what did I learn? I produced 34 cents of black beans. I need to water more in order to produce an acceptable amount of black beans next year.
