Step-by-step explanation:
rain volumes (cm cubedcm3) of 50 brains vary from a low of 904 cm cubedcm3 to a high of 1502 cm cubedcm3. Use the range rule of thumb to estimate the standard deviation s and compare the result to the exact standard deviation of 171.5 cm cubedcm3, assuming the estimate is accurate if it is within 15 cm cubedcm3.
1502 - 904 = 598 / 4 = 149.5
Compare the result to the exact standard deviation.
the approximation is not accurate because the error of the range rule of thumb's approximation is greater than 15...
Significantly low values are...
(mean) - 2 * (standard deviation)
