normal
skewed left
chi-square
Correct: Your answer is correct.
(d) Find the mean of the x distribution. (Give your answer correct to the nearest whole number.)
856
Correct: Your answer is correct.
(ii) Find the standard error of the x distribution. (Give your answer correct to two decimal places.)
2.01
Correct: Your answer is correct.

For the last one, z(840)=-16/11/sqrt(30)=-7.97
want probability of z between -7.97 and 0. That is 0.5000. The se is only 2, and the distance from the mean is 16.
