In an election, suppose that 45% of voters support creating a new fire district. If we poll 202 of these voters at random, the probability distribution for the proportion of the polled voters that support creating a new fire district can be modeled by the normal distribution pictured below. The bell curve below represents the distribution of these sample proportions. The scale on the horizontal axis is the standard deviation of the sampling distribution. So each tick mark represents a distance of one standard deviation on the distribution, with the middle tick mark being the mean of the distribution. Complete the boxes accurate to two decimal places. Note that the second box is at the mean. The first box is two standard deviations below the mean, and the third box is two standard deviations above the mean. Complete the boxes accurate to two decimal places.
