The correct answer would be D. You find the range by subtracting the lowest value of a data set from the highest value of the data set.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The standard deviation using the range rule of thumb of a data set with a minimum value of 176 and a maximum value of 237 is:

15.3

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We know that the range rule of thumb is used to find the estimate of the standard deviation with the help of the range of a data set.

It states that the standard deviation of a data set is equal to 1/4 times the range of a data set.

We have the minimum value of set= 176

and maximum value of set=237

Hence, the Range of data set= maximum value-minimum value

= 237-176

= 61

Hence, we have the standard deviation as:

$\dfrac{61}{4}=15.25$

Hence, the answer is:

15.3
