Step-by-step explanation:

The average household on Mississippi's yeoman farmsteads contained 6.0 members, slightly above the statewide average of 5.8 and well above the steadily declining average for northern bourgeois families. A quarter of Mississippi's yeoman households contained at least 8 members, and many included upward of 10.
