HELP ME PLEASE I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST AND POINTS

Which approach to the theory-and-research cycle does the following sequence reflect: (1) specific observations suggest generalizations, (2) generalizations produce a tentative theory, (3) the theory is tested through the formation of hypotheses, and (4) hypotheses may provide suggestions for additional observations?

The brain volumes (cm cubed) of 50 brains vary from a low of 904 cm cubed to a high of 1488 cm cubed. use the range rule of thumb to estimate the standard deviation s and compare the result to the exact standard deviation of 175.5 cm cubed, assuming the estimate is accurate if it is within 15 cm cubed

Set $r$ is a set of rectangles such that (1) only the grid points shown here are used as vertices, (2) all sides are vertical or horizontal and (3) no two rectangles in the set are congruent. if $r$ contains the maximum possible number of rectangles given these conditions, what fraction of the rectangles in set $r$ are squares? express your answer as a common fraction.
