Question

Transcribed Image Text:2.88 Characteristics of a rockfall. Refer to the Environmental
Geology (Vol. 58, 2009) study of how far a block from
ROCKS a collapsing rock wall will bounce, Exercise 2.61 (p. 61).
The rebound lengths (meters) for a sample of 13 rock
bounces are reproduced in the table below.

6.77
Based on Paronuzzi, P."Rockfall-induced block propagation on a soil
slope, northern Italy." Environmental Geology, Vol. 58, 2009 (Table 2).
a. Compute the range of the 13 rebound lengths. Give the
units of measurement of the range.
b. Compute the variance of the 13 rebound lengths. Give
the units of measurement of the variance.
