A distribution data has a maximum value of 96, a median value of 56.5, and a minimum of 23. Use the range rule of thumb to estimate the standard deviation. Round results to the nearest tenth.

Answer:

 The standard deviation estimate by the Range Rule of Thumb = 18.3

Step-by-step explanation:

i) maximum = 96

ii) minimum = 23

iii) standard deviation [tex]\approx[/tex]  [tex]\frac{(maximum\hspace{0.1cm} - \hspace{0.1cm} minimum)}{4} = \frac{96 - 23}{4} = \frac{73}{4} = 18.25[/tex]

 

   The standard deviation estimate by the Range Rule of Thumb = 18.3
