8. The host of "Prairie Home Companion" radio show used to tell stories about his hometown

in Manitoba "where all the women are strong, all the men are good looking, and the children

are above average". This must be fictitious place because:

1. Manitoba bachelor farmers aren't that good looking.

2. Only half the children in any town can be above average.

3. People from Manitoba aren't any stronger, better looking, or smarter

than the rest of us.

4. In any reasonably large sample of people, such as a town, there's

bound to be a weak woman, an unattractive man, or an unintelligent

child.

5. None of the above.

Make your choice and explain it.
