Final answer:

To find the 50th percentile in the distribution of acres planted with soybeans across counties, locate the interval where the cumulative count represents 50% of the total counties. However, histogram data is missing to provide the specific interval.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question you're asking pertains to the interpretation of a histogram and identifying the 50th percentile, also known as the median, from the given data on soybean acres planted in different counties. Unfortunately, the actual histogram data isn't provided, but I can explain the process you would take to find the 50th percentile. If you had the histogram, you would look for the interval where the cumulative count of counties reaches 50% of the total number of counties. Since there are 30 counties, we look for the 15th and 16th counties to determine the median interval. The interval that contains these two counties would contain the 50th percentile.
