Let X represent the full height of a certain species of tree. Assume that X has a normal probability distribution with mean 203.8 ft and standard deviation 43.8 ft.
You intend to measure a random sample of n = 211trees. The bell curve below represents the distribution of these sample means. The scale on the horizontal axis (each tick mark) is one standard error of the sampling distribution. Complete the indicated boxes, correct to two decimal places.
Image attached. I filled in the yellow boxes and am not sure why they are wrong. There are 3 yellow boxes filled in with values 206.82; 209.84; 212.86.
