In a sample of people, the mean height was  65.2  inches and the heights range from  59  to  70  inches. The histogram for the heights is bell-shaped. The Empirical Rule states that all or almost all data fall within three standard deviations of the mean. Use this fact to find an approximation of the standard deviation. Round to one decimal place if necessary.
