The data summary lists how many tribes and total acres?

• A. 275 tribes and 56 million acres
• B. 350 tribes and 70 million acres
• C. 300 tribes and 60 million acres
• D. 250 tribes and 40 million acres

Answer: (A)

Understanding data summaries that report both the number of tribes and the total acres helps you grasp the scale of land represented. The listed totals show there are 275 tribes with a combined total of 56 million acres. This pairing communicates both how many distinct tribes are included and how much land in total they cover.

It also lets you see the scale per tribe: 56,000,000 acres divided by 275 tribes ≈ 203,600 acres per tribe on average, giving a sense of the typical size you’re dealing with in this dataset. Other possible numbers would change the totals and counts in ways that no longer match the data as described, so they wouldn’t fit the summary provided.
