Based on prior knowledge, the number of grains per pod (NS) can be a good indicator of grain yield in soybean cultivars. Generally, a higher number of grains per pod is associated with a higher grain yield. However, the suitable range of NS values may vary depending on the specific cultivar and growing conditions.

To analyze the relationship between NS and the task of predicting high or low grain yield, we can consider the following:

1. **Low grain yield (target class 'low')**: In this case, we can expect NS values to be relatively low, indicating a lower number of grains per pod. This could be due to various factors like poor pollination, nutrient deficiencies, disease or pest damage, or suboptimal growing conditions. Typically, NS values in the range of 1 to 4 could be associated with low grain yield.

2. **High grain yield (target class 'high')**: Here, we can expect NS values to be high, indicating a greater number of grains per pod. This could imply successful pollination, optimal growing conditions, and good overall plant health. NS values in the range of 5 to 8 could be associated with high grain yield.

Based on this analysis, we can generate a dictionary with the NS values for each target class as follows:

```json
{
    "low": [1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 3.5, 4.0],  
    "high": [5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 7.5, 8.0]  
}
```
