from 31.42 to 32.51 fluid ounces. Find the standard deviation in volumes of quart-size
Hellmann's mayonnaise jars (in fluid ounces). NOTE: There are 32 fluid ounces in a quart.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The standard deviation of a uniform distribution is calculated as

σ = ,

where "a" is the lower bound of the uniform distribution and "b" is the upper bound.

Using this formula, you can complete this exercise on your own.
