The brain volumes ​(cm3​) of 50 brains vary from a low of 904 cm3 to a high of 1490 cm3. Use the range rule of thumb to estimate the standard deviation s and compare the result to the exact standard deviation of 191.4 cm3​, assuming the estimate is accurate if it is within 15 cm3. The estimated standard deviation is 146.5146.5 cm3. ​(Type an integer or a decimal. Do not​ round.) Compare the result to the exact standard deviation.
