Unable to convert expression into double array.

My code snippet is as follows:
syms X mu std ;
sym pi;
definite_int = inline('(2*pi*(std^2))^(-0.5)* exp(-((X-mu).^2)/(2*(std^2)))', 'X','mu','std','pi');
inte = vpaintegral(definite_int(x, mu, std, pi),[20 120])
inte = double(vpa(inte))
figure('Name','plot ');
for i = 2:20
height = 20:i:120;
ri = sum(height .* i);
error = ri - inte
plot(error, i);
hold on
end
I am getting the following error:
integration =
[ vpaintegral(exp(-(mu - 60)^2/(2*std^2))/(2*std^2*pi)^(1/2), std, 20, 120), vpaintegral(exp(-(mu - 62)^2/(2*std^2))/(2*std^2*pi)^(1/2), std, 20, 120), vpaintegral(exp(-(mu - 64)^2/(2*std^2))/(2*std^2*pi)^(1/2), std, 20, 120), vpaintegral(exp(-(mu - 66)^2/(2*std^2))/(2*std^2*pi)^(1/2), std, 20, 120), vpaintegral(exp(-(mu - 68)^2/(2*std^2))/(2*std^2*pi)^(1/2), std, 20, 120), vpaintegral(exp(-(mu - 70)^2/(2*std^2))/(2*std^2*pi)^(1/2), std, 20, 120), vpaintegral(exp(-(mu - 72)^2/(2*std^2))/(2*std^2*pi)^(1/2), std, 20, 120), vpaintegral(exp(-(mu - 74)^2/(2*std^2))/(2*std^2*pi)^(1/2), std, 20, 120), vpaintegral(exp(-(mu - 76)^2/(2*std^2))/(2*std^2*pi)^(1/2), std, 20, 120), vpaintegral(exp(-(mu - 78)^2/(2*std^2))/(2*std^2*pi)^(1/2), std, 20, 120), vpaintegral(exp(-(mu - 80)^2/(2*std^2))/(2*std^2*pi)^(1/2), std, 20, 120)]
Error using symengine
Unable to convert expression into double array.
Error in sym/double (line 692)
Xstr = mupadmex('symobj::double', S.s, 0);
Error in hw1>question4 (line 125)
integration = double(vpa(integration))
How should I solve this error? please help

Instead of using obsolete inline, you should use efficient function handles.

Using double() on the vpaintegral() result can only possibly work if you are using vpaintegral() on a formula that has exactly one unresolved symbolic variable. mu and std are unresolved in your integral as well as X, so you cannot possibly get out a symbolic numeric result from the integral.
