To estimate the standard deviation using the range rule of thumb, we can use the formula:
s{Range}4
Given that the range of brain volumes in the dataset is from 963 cm³ to 1439 cm³, we can calculate the range as:
{Range}={highest value}{lowest value}=1439{cm³}963{cm³}=476{cm³}
Using the range rule of thumb formula, we can estimate the standard deviation as:
s476{cm³}4=119{cm³}
The estimated standard deviation using the range rule of thumb is approximately 119 cm³.
Now, let's compare this estimated value to the exact standard deviation provided, which is 124.9 cm³.
We can see that the estimated standard deviation using the range rule of thumb (119 cm³) is slightly lower than the exact standard deviation (124.9 cm³).
