not sure of it either but i think you should first draw a vertical line at age 22 and stop where it crosses the mean curve.

then draw a horizontal line (make sure it's very accurate ) along the length of the whole graph. the horizontal line will cross two points of the 1 and -1 standard deviation.
then draw two vertical line down at the point where the horizontal line Crosses and obtain the age range.

I guess this is what i kinda understood. hope it helps. :smile:

how do you draw standard deviations? is it according to the scale on the graph or?
•The SDS can be used to draw error bars where the SD value is subtracted and added to the mean value. To scale Y-axis, the lowest value is the lowest mean minus its SD and the highest value is the highest mean plus its SD.

yes you plot them according to the scale of the Y axis and it doesn't have to be that accurate
